Airway management in upper body burned patient. A case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Early orotracheal intubation is critical in managing airway burns due to swelling and potential obstruction. This case report describes a 66-year-old male with 36% total body surface area burns predominantly affecting the face, neck, and upper extremities. We detail the circumstances leading to early intubation, the techniques used, and post-intubation care. This case illustrates the necessity for timely airway intervention to ensure ventilation and reduce morbidity associated with burn injuries. Keywords: Airway management, burns, orotracheal intubation.
