What Researchers Did
Researchers treated six patients with suspected or confirmed carbon monoxide poisoning, who had not responded to standard therapy, with hyperbaric oxygen.
What They Found
All six patients, including four with suspected and two with confirmed carbon monoxide poisoning, recovered completely after receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This treatment was administered after they failed to respond adequately to standard therapies.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was conducted in the United States.
Study Limitations
A significant limitation is the very small sample size of only six patients, with carbon monoxide poisoning unconfirmed in four of them.
