Title Pulmonary edema in acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
Bibliographic information 10 July 1974, Vol.33, No.2, p.131-138. Illus. 15 ref.
Abstract Clinical study aimed at classifying the pulmonary radiographs of persons with acute CO poisoning and at elucidating pulmonary oedema development. Chest radiographs and arterial oxygen partial pressures were studied in 61 patients with acute CO poisoning. 22 patients showed abnormalities on chest X-rays taken at the time of admission; 4 of these had clinical symptoms of pulmonary oedema. Possible mechanisms of pulmonary oedema development are discussed.
