| 英文描述 | Smoke is the result of incomplete combustion and contains products such as carbon monoxide, cyanide, hydrogen chloride, phosgene gases, acetic acid, formaldehyde, acetic acid, and others. Smoke inhalation causes both carbon monoxide poisoning and reduced oxygen delivery to tissue due to chemical injury. Broncho- and laryngospasm, airway edema, pulmonary edema, erosions, and necrosis can ensue and cause suffocation. Most deaths are due to carbon monoxide; bright red mucous membranes might indicate carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning. |
