What Researchers Did
Researchers described a case of acute carbon monoxide poisoning leading to hemiplegia that was successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
The patient presented with left hemiplegia, anisocoria, and a Glasgow Coma Score of 8. After five sessions of hyperbaric oxygen treatment, these symptoms completely resolved, and the Glasgow Coma Score improved to 15. At nine months follow-up, the patient remained independent without sequelae.
