Comparative Study
[Carbon monoxide poisoning: a pending subject for physicians and users].
To assess the incidence of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning diagnosed at a General Hospital's Casualty Department, to evaluate its clinical features and diagnostic difficulties, to find data on how much information the patients had on the risk of poisoning, what measures were adopted for a technician to check the apparatus which caused the poisoning, and on re-use. ⋯ Carbon monoxide poisoning is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality.
