Treatment of methylene chloride induced carbon monoxide poisoning with hyperbaric oxygenation.
Methylene chloride is an organic solvent with many industrial uses. Inhalation of methylene chloride fumes can result in toxicity, caused by hepatic biotransformation of methylene chloride to carbon monoxide. A case of acute methylene chloride poisoning is presented, including successful treatment of this patient with the use of hyperbaric oxygenation. The rationale for the use of hyperbaric ox...
متن کاملToxicity associated with carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is an insidious poison that accounts for thousands of deaths each year in North America. Clinical effects maybe diverse and include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting,syn-cope, seizures, coma, dysrhythmias, and cardiac ischemia. Children, pregnant women, and patients who have underlying cardiovascular disease are particularly at risk for adverse out-comes. Treatment consists ...
متن کاملEfficiency of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the Treatment of Carbon Monoxide Toxicity.
A 41-year-old male presented with carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. The patient’s Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 9. Dual-energy CT (DECT) revealed a perfusion defect on the bilateral globus pallidus (Figure 1a). The patient was intubated and immediately underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). In addition to normobaric oxygen therapy, two sessions on the first day and one session each on th...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide poisoning treated with hyperbaric oxygen: metabolic acidosis as a predictor of treatment requirements.
A retrospective case note analysis was made of patients who received hyperbaric oxygen for carbon monoxide poisoning and were admitted to the Royal Naval Hospital Haslar between 1991 and 1995. Males predominated (38 v 10) as did cases of deliberate self poisoning (31 v 17). The most common presenting feature was unconsciousness, which is an indication for hyperbaric oxygen and therefore reflect...
متن کاملLight irradiation for treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning: an experimental study
BACKGROUND Because treatment modalities for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, especially normobaric oxygen and hyperbaric oxygen therapies, have limited effects and hyperbaric oxygen is not available at the scene where treatment is most needed, we conducted a study to determine and compare rates of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) dissociation achieved in human in vitro blood samples under light radiatio...
