Poisoning
Acute Carbon Monoxide Intoxication
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced as a byproduct of combustion. Poisoning occurs by inhalation, either accidentally or intentionally (suicide attempt). Oxygen, and especially hyperbaric oxygen, accelerates the clearance of CO from the body, thereby restoring oxygen delivery to sensitive tissues such as the brain and heart.
Cyanide Poisoning
Cyanide poisoning occurs when cyanide, commonly present in smoke from fires and in industrial chemicals, is ingested or inhaled. Frequently, victims of smoke inhalation develop carbon monoxide poisoning and cyanide poisoning simultaneously. The hyperbaric oxygen therapy used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning may also reduce the toxicity of cyanide and augment the benefit of antidote treatment.
