OBJECTIVE: To learn the value of bronchoscopy and biopsy in the early diagnosis of inhalation injury ARDS. SETTING: Burn Center, CHU Saint-Antoine, Paris, France. DESIGN: 130 consecutively admitted burn patients were bronchoscoped on admission. MEASUREMENTS: The appearance of the bronchial tree was recorded, and biopsies were taken from spurs of the proximal and distal branches of the right bronchi. RESULTS: Either bronchoscopy or biopsy was positive in 46 cases. Twenty three of 44 patients with chemical inhalation injury developed ARDS (52%). Of 83 negative cases only 6 developed ARDS (7%). CONCLUSION: Bronchoscopy with biopsy is useful in predicting the development of ARDS in burn patients.
