          Abstract

          La quemadura de la vía aérea, consecuencia de encender un tubo endotraqueal con electrocauterio, presenta escasa incidencia, pero puede provocar lesiones graves o incluso la muerte. Se presenta un caso de un incendio causado por rotura del tubo endotraqueal secundario a contacto con electrocauterio durante una resección de tumor facial. En este caso las causas primarias de fuego fueron el oxígeno a FiO2 no mínima empleado para la ventilación, y la electrocauterización de alta potencia utilizada para la resección y el control de la hemorragia. En este reporte se nombran los métodos de prevención de un incendio de las vías respiratorias y el tratamiento de urgencia cuando se produce. A pesar de su baja incidencia, anestesiólogos y cirujanos deben tener un tratamiento de urgencia de incendios de vía aérea en mente y estar al tanto de los métodos de prevención.

          Translated abstract

          Although the incidence of airway burns that occur when the endotracheal tube is ignited by the electrocautery is low, it is right to assume that the resulting injuries may be severe and even fatal. A case is presented of fire caused by the rupture of an endotracheal tube secondary to contact with the electrocautery during the resection of a facial tumor. In this case, the primary sources of fire were oxygen at a nonminimal FiO2 used for ventilation, and the high-powered electrocautery used for resection and bleeding control. This report will cover the methods for preventing airway fires and the emergency treatment should they happen. Despite the low incidence, both anesthesiologists as well as surgeons must have in mind an emergency treatment of airway fires and must have knowledge of preventive methods.

          Respiratory management of inhalation injury.

          Advances in the care of patients with major burns have led to a reduction in mortality and a change in the cause of their death. Burn shock, which accounted for almost 20 percent of burn deaths in the 1930s and 1940s, is now treated with early, vigorous fluid resuscitation and is only rarely a cause of death. Burn wound sepsis, which emerged as the primary cause of mortality once burn shock decreased in importance, has been brought under control with the use of topical antibiotics and aggressive surgical debridement. Inhalation injury has now become the most frequent cause of death in burn patients. Although mortality from smoke inhalation alone is low (0-11 percent), smoke inhalation in combination with cutaneous burns is fatal in 30 to 90 percent of patients. It has been recently reported that the presence of inhalation injury increases burn mortality by 20 percent and that inhalation injury predisposes to pneumonia. Pneumonia has been shown to independently increase burn mortality by 40 percent, and the combination of inhalation injury and pneumonia leads to a 60 percent increase in deaths. Children and the elderly are especially prone to pneumonia due to a limited physiologic reserve. It is imperative that a well organized, protocol driven approach to respiratory care of inhalation injury be utilized so that improvements can be made and the morbidity and mortality associated with inhalation injury be reduced.

            Operating room fires: a closed claims analysis.

            To assess patterns of injury and liability associated with operating room (OR) fires, closed malpractice claims in the American Society of Anesthesiologists Closed Claims Database since 1985 were reviewed.
