ABSTRACT

Chromobronchoscopy was first used in treatment of 37 burned patients with inhalation injuries for better visual manifestation of the injuries of the tracheobronchial tree mucosa. The trachea and bronchi mucosa was irrigated with a viral stain--0.25% aqueous solution of methylene blue. The intensity of staining the mucosa in light blue colour showed the true limits and depth of the injury. Resulting from the clinico-endoscopic examinations supplemented with findings of chromobronchoscopy, cytological and bacteriological analyses, a working classification of inhalation injuries in burned people was developed which allowed the adequate methods of local treatment during fiber bronchoscopy to be worked out taking into account the degree of thermochemical injuries of the respiratory pathways. It resulted in 19.7% lower lethality of burned patients.
