Analysis of patients presenting to the emergency department with carbon monoxide intoxication
2015
Objectives
Carbon monoxide is a potentially fatal form of poisoning. The exact incidence is unclear, due to cases being undiagnosed or reported as fewer than the real number. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is of proven efficacy in the treatment of CO intoxication.
The purpose of this study was to describe the general characteristics of carbon monoxide (CO) intoxications presenting to the emergency department and to investigate troponin I values and the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in these patients.
