摘要

Fire and disasters are often linked together. The smoke inhalation is one of the important pathologies found in fires and that could be lethal, lead to serious sequels or it could be of no importance, as well. In a disaster situation, the number of intoxicated victims could be large and their triage is of importance to select those who can benefit of treatment. We focus our attention on smoke inhalation cases, clinical presentation and importance of diagnostics even in a disaster situation. Measurement of breath carbon monoxide in the pre-hospital setting is interesting to diagnose poisoning and to help to find real smoke inhalation victims in a crowd of involved and stressed people. Fire and Disasters Fire and disaster are linked together : every fire can become a disaster, for example a building fire, especially when it is a public building where potential victims are numerous as in dancing hall (Cocoanut Grove Night Club Fire in Boston,USA [1,2] in 1942 where 489 people died and 131 wounded were treated in the hospital) or an airport fire (fire of the airport Dusseldorf, Germany [3] where 62 people were intoxicated) or forest fire near residential zone ( Berkeley California forest fire [4] in 1991 with report of 25 fire-related deaths and 241 people with fire-linked health problems). A long list of disaster fires are listed by Favre [6] where one can find historical fires such as a circus fire in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1836 (800 dead), a theatre fire in Canton China in 1845 (1670 dead), a church fire in Santiago, Chile in 1848 (2500 dead) or more recent disasters as the fire of the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, USA in 1980 (86 dead) or the stadium fire in Bradford, UK in 1985 (53 dead) or a forest fire in the North of China in 1987 (193 dead). Fire could be secondary to traffic, train or aeroplane accidents. Tunnel fire accidents are dominated by smoke inhalation, for example in a train fire in Zurich [5] with 140 passengers of the train trapped in a tunnel while the train was burning, resulting in 58 inhalation injuries or the Subway Fire in Baku in 1995 resulting in 289 dead and 256 poisonings and other casualties [16]. More classical major disasters as earthquake, volcano eruption, terrorist bombing, urban riots, classical or nuclear bombing,... are followed by fire. Pathological states often caused by the fire Some of the pathologies encountered during fire are highly specific and others nonspecific. The specific pathologies include burns and smoke intoxication and nonspecific ones are traumatic lesions, blast injuries and hyperthermia. The smoke intoxication is very frequent in the context of fire but it is frequently hidden by an other state more visible and better known, such as a burn. Emergency clinicians must keep in mind all the possible diagnoses in the context of the fire. Closed trauma and blast injuries have in common with smoke inhalation their hidden lethal potential : an apparently unharmed patient can collapse because of a major lung oedema [15] (in the smoke example), or intestinal perforation (in the blast example) and will thus escape the medical attention even more easily in a disaster context where rescue teams have other things to do than running after apparently unhurt victims. Smoke More than hundred toxic substances are known to be present in the fire smoke. Research in the chemistry and occupational hygiene [7, 8, 9, 10, 11] showing the presence of all these toxicants have to be validated by clinical research [12,13]. On the top of the list is the carbon monoxide which plays certainly a role, but other products could be as toxic like hydrocyanic acid [14], acrolein, hydrogen chloride, phosgene, sulphur and nitrogen dioxide among others. These products are found in the smoke as gases, aerosol or are adsorbed on solid soot particles. Clinical effects of smoke could be divided into two categories : asphyxia and lung irritation or respiratory tract injuries.Asphyxia by deprivation of oxygen in ambient
