Types of Smoke Inhalation Injuries
Smoke inhalation injuries can be categorized into thermal, chemical, and systemic injuries. Thermal injuries are localized to the upper airways and result from heat transfer during a fire. Chemical injuries involve harmful gases from the fire, which can penetrate deeper into the airways. Systemic injuries occur when the body absorbs toxic substances, leading to various health issues.
