Carbon monoxide poisoning [PDF]
Journal of Education and Teaching in Emergency Medicine, 2016 Audience: This oral boards case is appropriate for all emergency medicine learners (residents, interns, and medical students). Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that typically results from combustion. It binds hemoglobin, dissociating oxygen, causing headache, weakness, confusion and possible seizure or coma.

Global, regional, and national mortality due to unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning, 2000–2021: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 [PDF]
, 2023 Background: Unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning is a largely preventable cause of death that has received insufficient attention. We aimed to conduct a comprehensive global analysis of the demographic, temporal, and geographical patterns of fatal ...

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2010 Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas existing in a miniscule concentration in the atmosphere (< 0.001%), and is a product of partial combustion. Carbon monoxide poisoning is associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Symptoms are usually non-specific and include fatigue, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting,

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2001 The deadly effect of carbon monoxide was known as long ago as Greek and Roman times, when the gas was used for executions1. In 1857 Claude Bernard postulated that its noxious effect was caused by reversible displacement of oxygen from haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin2.

Toxicology Reports, 2020 Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in many countries, including Japan. Annually, CO poisoning claims about 2000-5000 lives in Japan, which is over half of the total number of poisoning deaths. This paper discusses the physicochemical properties of CO and the toxicological evaluation of CO poisoning.

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 1999 The onset of autumn and cooler weather traditionally heralds the start of another season in the northern hemisphere—the peak incidence of unintentional deaths from carbon monoxide. Each year around 50 people in the United Kingdom die from carbon monoxide poisoning, and a year ago the chief medical officer warned again of the dangers.1 As yet there is ...

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1991 Carbon monoxide is a common domestic and industrial poison which may be lethal. Survivors can develop permanent neuropsychiatric disability. The mechanisms of toxicity are poorly understood and the traditional criteria used to determine the severity of the poisoning have low predictability. Oxygen is the recommended antidote to carbon monoxide, but it

, 2015 Recognition of carbon monoxide is difficult due to its plain physical-chemical properties. Carbon and gas operating heating systems may cause severe poisoning. Carbon-monoxide intoxication may generate severe hypoxic damage and it may cause death.
