What Researchers Did
Researchers reported a case of a 19-year-old man who developed late neuropsychiatric symptoms after carbon monoxide poisoning, despite initial hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
The patient developed neuropsychiatric symptoms 3 days after initial recovery from carbon monoxide poisoning, despite receiving hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy acutely. These symptoms resolved completely after HBO therapy was reinstituted, and he remained symptom-free 6 months later.
