Airway probs can occur from:
- direct burns
- inhalation injury (10-20% of all burns pts)
- trauma from other injuries
- 3rd spacing oedema during fluid resuscitation
- long term intubation (eg subglottic stenosis)

Airway burns can occur above or below the glottis.
Key history points:
- in enclosed space?
- trapped?
- lost consciousness?
Key examination features:
- signs of airway obstruction
- facial burns
- respiratory distress
- altered voice

Plan for a difficult intubation.
Then look at airway with bronchoscopy.
Protect the lungs (ARDSNet)
Extubate as soon as possible.
If you can’t think of tracheostomy.
