根据一项新研究, 芬太尼和甲基胺等可吸烟药物与严重烧伤的增加有关, Smokable drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine are linked to a rise in severe burn injuries, especially from butane torches, according to a new study.

一项新的研究将严重烧伤的增加与可吸烟药物如芬太尼和甲胺的使用量增加联系起来, 超过一半在俄勒冈州住院治疗的烧伤患者从2016年到2024年报告了这种药物的使用. A new study links rising severe burn injuries to the increased use of smokable drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine, with over half of hospitalized burn patients in Oregon from 2016 to 2024 reporting such drug use. 研究人员发现,在使用毒品时经常使用气火把 - 常有锁定机制 - ,特别是在单独或处于镇静状态下,会增加烧伤风险. Researchers found frequent use of butane torches—often with locking mechanisms—during drug use, especially when alone or under sedation, heightening burn risks. 调查结果发表在"美国医学杂志"内科上, 显示吸烟已经超过注射药物成为致命的过量使用的主要途径. 而烧伤现在是导致长期残疾和心理创伤的一个主要且未被认可的后果. The findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, show smoking has surpassed injection as the primary route of fatal overdoses, with burns now a major, underrecognized consequence leading to long-term disability and psychological trauma. 美国国家药物滥用研究所资助的这项研究敦促医疗保健提供者提高对这种新出现危险的认识. The study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, urges healthcare providers to raise awareness about this emerging danger.
