SINGAPORE, Feb 28 (The Straits Times/ANN): When a severely burnt patient is wheeled into the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) Burn Centre, one of the first things emergency staff do is to pump air into the patient's lungs.

That is because if the airway is swollen shut, it can deprive the patient of oxygen, affecting the chances of survival.
