Abstract
Based on experience with 2 large groups of fire victims injured in a semiclosed environment, the clinical course of the survivors and the pathologic examination of those who died, a modified classification of pulmonary burns into thermal burns and chemical burns is suggested. There is a close relationship between CO poisoning and chemical intoxication in patients injured in a relatively closed environment. The clinical course and prognosis of patients suffering from a thermal pulmonary burn are different than that of a chemical pulmonary burn.
