Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]

open access: possibleMedical Clinics of North America, 2004
CO is an insidious poison with many sources of exposure. CO poisoning produces diverse signs and symptoms, which often are subtle and can be misdiagnosed easily. Failure to diagnose CO poisoning may result insignificant morbidity and mortality and allow continued exposure to a dangerous environment.

Carbon Monoxide Cardiotoxicity

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 2001
Cardiac dysfunction including arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia have often been reported in carbon monoxide poisoning; scattered punctiform hemorrhages throughout the heart have been documented in autopsy samples. An appropriate diagnostic approach is crucial to assess carbon monoxide cardiac damage.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1998
Carbon monoxide intoxication continues to be one of the most common causes of morbidity due to poisoning in the United States.1,2 It may be intentional or accidental, and exposure may be lethal. Approximately 600 accidental deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning are reported annually in the United States,3 and the number of intentional carbon monoxide–

Carbon Monoxide in Rainwater

Science, 1971
Concentrations of carbon monoxide in rainwater collected at widely diverse locations show up to a 200-fold supersaturation relative to the partial pressure of the gas in the atmosphere. These results indicate the existence of an additional natural source of carbon monoxide not heretofore considered.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Forensic Science International, 1989
This paper illustrates the remarkable fall of carbon monoxide poisoning due to the abolition of coal gas in the 1970 era and a corresponding decrease in suicide deaths. It enfolds the varying forms of suicide and accident according to age, sex and circumstance.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common type of accidental poisoning in the United States, accounting for thousands of emergency department visits and some 800 deaths annually. Carbon monoxide, an insidious byproduct of incomplete hydrocarbon combustion, is generated in toxic amounts by internal-combustion engines, fossil-fuel furnaces, and fires.

Carbon Monoxide in Sepsis

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2007
Despite modern practices in critical care medicine, sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit. Thus, the need to identify new therapeutic tools for the treatment of sepsis is urgent. In this context, carbon monoxide has become a promising therapeutic molecule that can

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Critical Care Clinics, 2012
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the leading cause of death as a result of unintentional poisoning in the United States. CO toxicity is the result of a combination of tissue hypoxia-ischemia secondary to carboxyhemoglobin formation and direct CO-mediated damage at a cellular level.

Life with Carbon Monoxide

Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004
This review focuses on how microbes live on CO as a sole source of carbon and energy and with CO by generating carbon monoxide as a metabolic intermediate. The use of CO is a property of organisms that use the Wood-L jungdahl pathway of autotrophic growth.
