Life-Threatening Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism Following Severe Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: A Plausible Association
2019
Abstract A 57-year-old man admitted with severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning suffered life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE) after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in the absence of other risk factors for thromboembolism, and was successfully treated with thrombolysis. CO is a thrombophilic condition predisposing to PE and active surveillance is advisable. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
