Large defects secondary to oral cancer resection are reconstructed with microsurgical free flaps. Pulmonary complications in these patients common. Postoperative mobilization is recommended decrease respiratory complications; however, many microsurgeons reluctant adopt early protocols due the perceived risk of flap compromise. The purpose this study was determine incidence pneumonia among undergoing and immediate reconstruction compare complication between mobilized (<4 days postoperative)...
To summarize current Canadian practice patterns in the diagnosis of and interventions for inhalation injuries (INHI).A 10-question survey regarding INHI was sent to medical directors all 16 burn centres across Canada.The response rate 50%.

I nhalation injury (INHI) is a comorbid factor that increases the risk of mortality in burn victims (1-3).The combination INHI and associated with complex pathophysiological alterations including increased pulmonary microvascular permeability prolonged cardiac depression ovine models (4,5).In Canadian study, Tredget et al (6) reported prolongs hospital stay independent age size.In spite clinical significance INHI, there has been lack academic progress management this field.Palmieri (7)...
