*Other signs of upper airway injury include hoarseness and stridor, which increase the work of breathing and may lead to respiratory fatigue with sub- and suprasternal retractions. Signs of lower respiratory tract injury may include any or all of the following: tachypnea, decreased breath sounds, wheezing, rales, rhonchi, or use of accessory respiratory muscles. | |||
