| Abstract |
Results of medical examinations on 15 men and 7 women with a mean age of 36.3 years who had suffered acute carbon monoxide poisoning and had been unconscious for various lengths of time. Objective internal symptoms and the results of laboratory analyses showed that, provided there is early diagnosis and treatment, carbon monoxide poisoning produces no sequelae. In the cases studied, the mean carboxyhaemoglobin level was 16.3% and the maximum level, 56%. Follow-up was carried out from 1 to 23 months after intoxication. The authors report on the examination techniques employed (internal examination, neurological examination and EEG), and discuss the changes they observed. |
