Video Summary

The video demonstrates diagnosing inhalation injury using fiberoptic bronchoscopy in a young male burn victim from a house fire. He exhibited respiratory distress and altered mental status, leading to preventative intubation and oxygen therapy at the hospital due to suspected inhalation injury. A bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis, showing carbonaceous deposits and erythematous, friable mucosa. The Endorff and Gamelli scale, ranging from 0 to 4, was used to rate the injury's severity, with this case classified as severe.
