BACKGROUND: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is one of the most common environmental causes of acute intoxication globally. It can lead to the development of Delayed Neuropsychiatric Sequelae (DNS) which may develop in 2-40 days after remission of acute CO poisoning. DNS is defined by recurrent-transient neurological, cognitive, or psychological manifestations. This study was intended to describe the demographics and characteristics of CO poisoning patients attending at the Emergency Department (ED) and assess the association between CO intoxication and the development of DNS in a tertiary hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia...

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is difficult to diagnose owing to its nonspecific symptoms. Multiwave pulse oximetry can be used to quickly screen patients for CO poisoning. However, few studies have analyzed patients with CO poisoning who presented to the emergency department (ED). The primary aim of our study was to determine the correlation between COHb levels measured in blood gas analysis and COHb levels measured in multiwave pulse oximetry. Secondary aims were the sensitivity and specificity of the COHb level cutoff value using multiwave pulse oximetry to predict a 25% COHb level in blood gas analysis...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a relatively frequent cause of poisoning evaluated in emergency departments. The risk of neurologic injuries, such as cognitive, psychological, vestibular, and motor deficits, is 25% to 50%. However, the risk of cardiac injuries should also be considered. Among patients with CO poisoning, the mortality in patients with myocardial injury is approximately 3 times greater than that in patients without myocardial injury. In large-scale studies, up to 69.2% of patients with acute CO poisoning exhibiting elevated troponin I levels and no underlying cardiovascular illnesses had late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance, suggesting covert CO-induced myocardial fibrosis...

INTRODUCTION: While the use of camping stoves in poorly ventilated areas is discouraged, the need to address dehydration challenges in harsh arctic conditions has led to their unconventional use inside snow caves for snow melting, subjecting occupants to unknown carbon monoxide (CO) levels. This study, located at sea level in northeastern Greenland, aimed to assess CO levels and dynamics during short cooking sessions in newly constructed emergency snow caves. METHODS: In 5 snow caves, constructed according to the same design principles by 4 different individuals, a single MSR Whisperlite multifuel burner, primed with ethanol and burning white gas, was used to melt snow...

Myocardial injury is a known complication following acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, yet there is little literature on this subject. Here, we present the case of a 56-year-old man admitted to the emergency room with severe CO poisoning. The electrocardiogram (ECG) at admission revealed an ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF, with an elevated troponin-T level. The patient was initially treated with hyperbaric oxygen, with improvement of symptoms and ECG normalization. He was later admitted for coronary angiography, which revealed an occlusion of the right coronary artery...

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning during pregnancy is a rare occurrence, associated with high maternal and fetal mortality rates. As CO can cross the placenta, leading to intrauterine hypoxia, CO intoxication can result in neurological sequelae and neurologic complications in fetuses who survive. We report a case of a preterm newborn acutely exposed to CO in-utero and delivered by emergent cesarean section at the 31st week of gestation due to the severe burns suffered by the mother following an indoor boiler explosion...

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a significant public health issue and a considerable economic burden in developed countries. While the majority of non-fire-related CO poisonings are attributed to gas heating, there are several other less recognized sources that should be considered in the initial differential diagnosis.The patient in this case was a 21-year-old who experienced a brief episode of loss of consciousness and was subsequently admitted to the Emergency department. Upon evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with CO poisoning, which necessitated hyperbaric oxygen therapy to mitigate the effects of this toxic exposure...

INTRODUCTION: Improper use of camp stoves in enclosed spaces has resulted in fatalities from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Prior research has focused on the CO output of stoves burning white gas, unleaded gas, or kerosene. Stoves burning an isobutane/propane fuel have not been investigated and are the focus of this study. METHODS: Three stoves utilizing isobutane/propane fuel were used to heat a pot of water inside a 3-season tent under controlled settings. Multiple runs with each stove were performed, and CO measurements, in parts per million (ppm), were recorded at 1-min intervals for a total of 15 min using a RAE Systems gas monitor...

BACKGROUND: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Symptoms are mostly aspecific, making it hard to identify, and its diagnosis is usually made through blood gas analysis. However, the bulkiness of gas analyzers prevents them from being used at the scene of the incident, thereby leading to the unnecessary transport and admission of many patients. While multiple-wavelength pulse oximeters have been developed to discriminate carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) from oxyhemoglobin, their reliability is debatable, particularly in the hostile prehospital environment...
