INTOXICACION MONOXIDO DE CARBONO E INHALACION HUMO

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
AND SMOKE INHALATION

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment is indicated for the following signs and symptoms:

* Alteration in Mental Status
* Neurological Signs
* Cardiovascular Dysfunction
* Pulmonary Edema
* Severe Acidosis
* Carboxyhemoglobin Levels in Excess of 25%

Patients who manifest any of the first five signs listed above should be referred for HBO2 treatment irrespective of their carboxyhemoglobin level. Treatment is most effective when initiated within six hours of exposure.

RATIONALE: HBO2 treatment must be predicated more on the clinical picture than the carboxyhemoglobin levels. HBO2 hastens the disassociation of carbon monoxide from hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes and other hemoproteins. At sea level, oxygen has not been shown to antagonize lipid peroxide while HBO2 does. HBO2 also provides tissue oxygenation via saturated plasma.
