The Importance of Intubation in Burn Patients

If they've got upper airway noises on your examination, so whether that is that high-pitched voice, if they have strider, obviously those are signs that there's a lot of dema in that upper airway. If we do an escharotomy and we do not get returned to our signals or pulses, then we go on to do a fasciotomy. Escharotomies are usually performed in a patient with a circumferential third-degree burn because the extremely doesn't expand.
