Successful treatment for the patient with severe inhalation injury with pneumonia, sepsis, multiple organ failure (Case report)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Although there was a lot of advance in the diagnosis and treatment of inhalation injury, the mortality rate of patients with inhalation injury was still high. The 60 years old male patient was admitted to the burn intensive care unit of the National Burn Hospital with severe inhalation injury. He was treated: Mechanical ventilation, bronchoscopy, nebulizer treatment, continuous renal replacement therapy, broad-spectrum antibiotics.
During the treatment, He suffered severe complications of inhalation injury: pneumonia, sepsis, multiple organ failure. After 21 days of intensive treatment, he was discharged from the hospital with an inhalation injury completely recovered.
