Case Reports Comparative Study[Good results of 100% oxygen treatment for acute carbon monoxide poisoning; temporarily no indication for hyperbaric oxygenation].
To describe the complications in patients with acute carbon monoxide intoxication, if treated with 100% instead of hyperbaric oxygen. ⋯ The short-term prognosis of patients with acute carbon monoxide intoxication is good, even if they are not treated with hyperbaric oxygen. There is still inconclusive evidence from the literature that hyperbaric oxygen improves the prognosis in these patients.
