[Dynamics of morphologic changes in tracheobronchial system in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning complicated by thermochemical damage to respiratory tract].

ABSTRACT

The authors identified three severity degrees of thermochemical damage to respiratory tract during acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Follow-up bronchoscopic studies were performed, and characteristic signs of thermochemical damage to respiratory tract in acute carbon monoxide poisoning were diagnosed. Evidence is that the signs were following certain sequence from edema and hyperemia of respiratory tract lining to severe purulent discharge.
