摘要
A case is presented of a woman who sustained a 35% body surface area mixed depth cutaneous burn, together with a significant inhalational injury. The patient required emergency resuscitation with endotracheal intubation and subsequently tracheostomy. This resulted in an unfortunate complication of a total adhesion between the vocal cords which extended into the subglottic area, causing complete occlusion of the airway.
