Abstract
- Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless and colorless gas that can lead to fulminant and life-threatening intoxications. Besides an early diagnosis, an appropriate treatment of the intoxication is important. In this context the reduction of CO concentration in blood and tissues is crucial revealing hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) as a highly promising tool. However, the benefit of HBO in CO intoxications is still considered controversial. In this review, we discuss the evidence of the role of HBO treatment in isolated CO intoxication.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest All authors declare no conflict of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd and International Society of Burns Injuries.
