[Expert consensus on airway lavage therapy for adult burn patients (2026 edition)].

Airway lavage therapy is an important method for clearing airway secretions and sloughed tissue in burn patients. It primarily includes fiberoptic bronchoscopy-guided lavage and direct airway lavage. To further improve the standardization, safety, and effectiveness of airway lavage therapy in burn patients, the consensus writing group, based on evidence from evidence-based medicine and guided by the Delphi method, conducted literature searches, quality evaluations, evidence synthesis, and expert consultations. They formulated the Expert consensus on airway lavage therapy for adult burn patients (2026 edition), which provides a reference for clinical practice, covering topics such as indications, contraindications, pre-operational preparation, timing and protocols of operation, monitoring, and complication management of airway lavage therapy for adult burn patients.
