Overview


Other imaging finding

Chest imaging — Chest radiography is typically obtained in the initial evaluation of the injured patient but has low sensitivity for inhalation injury[1]. Most patients with inhalation injury have a normal chest radiograph at presentation, and for those with abnormal findings, the degree of injury is usually underestimated[2]. The presence of pulmonary opacities on initial chest films has been implicated as a marker of severe injury and a poor prognosis[3].
