Drowning
Death due to submersion/suffocation in fluid.
What is Drowning
The pathologic changes in the distal airways and alveoli are mainly caused by the irritation and toxic gases.
What is Smoke Inhalation
What is carbon monoxide poisoning
Injury caused by the inhalation of hot gases.
What is thermal lung injury
Diffuse fibrous pneumoconiosis resulting from long term inhalation of asbestos dust.
What is asbestosis
The situation in which a victim survives a liquid submersion, at least temporarily.
What is near drowning
Smoke inhalation injury stages.
What is early, intermediate, and late stage
The when carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin.
What is carboxyhemoglobin
Thermal lung injury is sparred from this part of the airway.
What are the distal airways
Asbestos exposure can cause this type of cancer.
What is mesothelioma
Two different groups of near drowning.
This disorders continues to be a problem during the late stage.
What is pneumonia
This test is done to figure our carbon monoxide poisoning.
What is COHb
This is the first priority in burns.
What is the airway
Fibrogenic pneumoconiosis caused by inhaling crystalline free silica dust.
What is Silicosis
Laryngospasms with closure of the glottis prevents aspiration of the large amounts of fluid in the lungs.
What is Dry Drowning
Fluid resuscitation with Ringer's Lactate solution is usually initiated according to this formula.
What is the Parkland Formula
Hemoglobin's affinity compared to O2
What is 210 times that of O2
Minimal depth in skin burns.
What is first degree burn
Chest x-ray common characteristic in coal miner's pneumoconiosis.
What is progressive massive fibrosis or lung nodules
Most common xray in near drowning patients.
What is Pulmonary Edema
What is 18%
A COHb of 40% or greater this treatment is necessary.
What is HBO therapy
Full thickness of skin including tissue beneath the skin burn.
What is third degree burns
Diffuse nodular deposition of dust in the lungs as a result of long term exposure to bituminous or anthracite coal dust in coal mining.
