Q

is a broad term that includes pulmonary exposure to a wide range of
chemicals in various forms including smoke, gasses, vapors, or fumes. Inhalation injury from
smoke exposure is commonly seen in patients exposed to fires.

occur because of the above mechanism resulting in alveolar collapse, which then causes increased transvascular fluid flux, a
decrease in surfactant, and a loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction and therefore
impaired oxygenation.
