Overview
CT scan
CT scan in burn may be helpful in the diagnosis of polytrauma of severe burn injuries . Findings on CT scan of sever burned patents showed skin thickening and extensive stranding involving the whole layer of subcutaneous soft tissue. CT scan The deep fascia and underlying muscle layer were free from burn injuries. Identification of this finding on the CT scan helps establish appropriate care[1].
Usually do not routinely obtain computed tomography (CT) of the chest solely to evaluate the lungs for inhalation injury, though patients with concomitant injuries may undergo chest CT for other indications. Some have suggested that chest CT may be helpful as an early predictor of smoke inhalation severity [2][3]. In these studies, the airway wall thickness to total bronchial diameter (T/D) ratio is measured. In a study of 40 patients, the number of days of mechanical ventilation correlated with the T/D ratio
