Summary

What Researchers Did

This review article discussed the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

What They Found

The review noted that CO poisoning still leads to high mortality and morbidity rates, with mild neurological problems being very common. Normobaric oxygen is the initial treatment. However, comatose and pregnant patients must undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Canadian Relevance

Although this study was not conducted in Canada, carbon monoxide poisoning is a Health Canada-recognised indication for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Study Limitations

As a review article from 2008, this study reflects the understanding and recommendations of that time and does not present new research data.
