First immediate action in ER is A. Endotracheal intubation B. Cricothyroidotomy C. IV fluid and analgesia D. Sedation and anxiolytics E. Oxygen therapy Explanation Common signs of significant smoke inhalation injury and the potential need for intubation include: ●Persistent cough, stridor, or wheezing ●Hoarseness ●Deep facial or circumferential neck burns ●Nares with inflammation or singed hair ●Carbonaceous sputum or burnt matter in the mouth or nose ●Blistering or edema of the oropharynx ●Depressed mental status, including evidence of drug or alcohol use ●Respiratory distress ●Hypoxia or hypercapnia ●Elevated carbon monoxide and/or cyanide levels Treatments — Supplemental oxygen and airway protection are the cornerstones of treatment for inhalation injury. Patients with severe burns often require tracheal intubation. Sedation and anxiolytic agents have a major side effect which is respiratory depression and airway compromise, this patient already has an airway compromise because of inhalational burn so sedation is contraindicated before full protection of airway.
