Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
Abstract: Background: Dementia is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Anticholinergic drugs have been frequently associated with a negative effect on cognition and increased risk of dementia. Previous studies have been restrained by comorbid medical...
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas, which is produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon-containing substances, and causes significant tissue and organ damage in the common event of CO poisoning. This study aims to evaluate the demographic, clinical, and...
Abstract: Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most commonly seen cause of poisoning in the emergency room (ER). The high affinity between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin and their complex biological characteristics greatly increase the risks of cardiac, nervous, muscular,...
Abstract: Severe intoxication with carbon monoxide (CO) is extremely lethal and causes numerous deaths due to cardiac or respiratory failure. Conventional intensive treatment may not be sufficient. The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment effect of...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify practice differences in the treatment of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning with or without hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in Japan. Using an online survey website (Google form), we created a questionnaire and invited...
Abstract: Carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) is the most common cause for poisoning by inhalation in Germany. In the past 8 years, a marked increase in the number of COP-related deaths has been registered nationwide. A national German guideline is missing. The national...
Abstract: Colourless and odourless, each year carbon monoxide is responsible for several thousand cases of poisoning. Often collective, their symptoms are non specific and can result in serious neurological sequelae or even death, if they are not detected in time. The...
Abstract: The risk of thromboembolism is higher in those with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning than in the general population. Pulmonary embolisms (PE) usually develop during admission for acute CO poisoning. We report the first case of a life-threatening PE that...
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning affects 50,000 people a year in the United States. The clinical presentation runs a spectrum, ranging from headache and dizziness to coma and death, with a mortality rate ranging from 1 to 3%. A significant number of patients...
