Acute Neuropathological Alterations after Smoke Inhalation Injury, with and without Skin Burn
More than 23,000 smoke inhalation injuries are reported in the United States each year. While the pathophysiology of smoke inhalation-induced lung injury is well studied, little is known about the acute effects of smoke inhalation on the central nervous system (CNS). Tragic events, such as those of …

Compliance of SCBA Training in the Lexington Fire Department
… has consistently found associations between smoke inhalation and acute and chronic illnesses that highlight the dangers of on-duty exposure to smoke. This study investigates the early removal of the SCBA by firefighters in one fire department while operating at fire incidents. The findings …

Determination of inhalation injury
Respiratory tract injury caused by smoke inhalation is the most common early cause of death in thermal injury. Inhalation injury is most commonly assessed on the basis of clinical data, blood gas analysis, and bronchoscopy. Cardiopulmonary responses in the immediate post-injury phase of smoke …

Inhalational burns in children
… problems. These were complications of fireburns, smoke inhalation, explosions and even hot water scalds. They presented with a wide and confusing array of symptoms and many failed to improve with the symptomatic treatment given. Greater understanding of the pathology was needed in order to …

Losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, fails to attenuate pulmonary dysfunction in ovine burn and smoke model
… the lung have been shown in response to burn and smoke inhalation injury. AngII has been associated with increased nitric oxide levels, leading to nuclear oxidative damage in Type II lung epithelial cells. Losartan is an AngII, AT1A specific receptor blocking. Using an ovine model of acute …

Carbon Monoxide Generation in a Compartment With a Doorway During a Fire
… the primary cause of death in building fires is smoke inhalation, with the majority of deaths from carbon monoxide, CO, poisoning. An experimental study was conducted to examine upper-layer structure plus provide an initial characterization of a new compartment with a doorway. An additional study …

Hypoxic immunomodulation results in increased disease risk and altered behavior via non-canonical pathways
… the increased disease risk associated with smoke inhalation, mice were placed in overhaul, the period following suppression where knockdown of fire-materials occurs, after a live-fire scenario for 15 minutes following an interior or transitional tactical choice. Lung tissue was then …

The evaluation of the 90 second certification test and the analysis of human behaviour within aircraft evacuation modelling
… impact with approximately 95% due to burns and smoke inhalation due to sub optimal evacuations. If post-crash survivors can be evacuated quickly enough then the survival rate could be improved. This thesis will examine the influence of exit availability on the evacuation of narrow bodied …

Mechanisms of imporvement following functional inhibition of nitrosative stress after brun and smoke-induced acute lung injury
Severe trauma, caused by flame burn and smoke (B + S) inhalation induces acute lung injury (ALI) and results in the loss of pulmonary function. A cascade of molecular and cellular events initiates the formation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) that in turn drives an inflammatory …
