Özet

Introduction Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and nonirritating gas. CO poisoning is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. After the late diagnosis of some CO-poisoned patients, we undertook a chart review to identify characteristics of patients with CO poisoning to help with management of future patients.
