Purpose of the guideline: In burn patients, especially patients with respiratory tract burns, the clinical diagnosis mostly depends on symptoms, signs and X-ray chest radiograph, and the condition is insidious. Because airway necrotic tissue, secretions cause obstruction and infection, peeling of airway mucosa or airway ulcer cause massive bleeding, it has become one of the main causes of death in burn patients. In recent years, with the wide application of fiberoptic bronchoscopy, fiberoptic bronchoscopy has also been gradually applied in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory burn patients, and has played a certain role. This consensus will further standardize the clinical application of burn bronchoalveolar lavage in adults.
