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.

ABSTRACT Diagnosis of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is challenging, as it is generally based on a history of present illness leading to clinical suspicion. CO is a tasteless, odorless, and colorless gas that has become known as the “silent killer.” CO poisoning affects approximately 50,000 people in the United States each year and presents ...

Accidental Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Clinical Pediatrics, 1984In this case report of an accidental automobile carbon monoxide poisoning, we identify the following risk factors: freezing temperature, young passenger age, location in the rear of the auto, smaller patient mass, and auto disrepair. The pathogenesis of carbon monoxide poisoning is reviewed.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Phototherapy
Nitric OxideCarbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of poison-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. By binding to hemoglobin and other heme-containing proteins, CO reduces oxygen delivery and produces tissue damage. Prompt treatment of CO-poisoned patients is necessary to prevent acute and long-term complications.
