Common questions
What does Inhalation Injury Grading (Bronchoscopic AIS) do?
Use after smoke/inhalation exposure to grade injury from bronchoscopy and anticipate airway compromise — particularly upper-airway edema, which can progress within 24 h.
How is the result calculated?
Bronchoscopic appearance → AIS 0 (none) to 4 (massive, mucosal sloughing/necrosis). Grades 2–4 carry worse survival and prompt escalating airway clearance and lung-protective ventilation.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
