Burn Multicenter Proposal: Development of an Inhalation Injury Scoring System to Predict Severity of Inhalation Injury

The goal of this multicenter study is to develop a standardized scoring system for inhalation
injury that can be used both to quantify and predict injury severity inhalation injury in
adults over 18 years of age. A model will be developed based on clinical, radiographic,
bronchoscopic, and biochemical parameters that will predict the severity of inhalation injury
with greater than 80% predictive accuracy

Inclusion Criteria:

- Injury consistent with inhalation of smoke or products of combustion

- Requires intubation within 24 hours of injury

- Meets one of the following 4 criteria

1. history of closed space injury

2. carbonaceous sputum

3. elevated carboxyhemoglobin

4. dx of inhalation injury is considered likely by investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

- ≤ 17 years of age

- Prisoner
