Treatments for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
INFORMATIVE
Tags: Carbon monoxide poisoning, burning charcoal, treatments
The treatment for CO poisoning is high-dose oxygen, usually using a facemask attached to an oxygen reserve bag.
CO levels in the blood may be periodically checked until they are low enough to safely send you home.
| | In severe poisoning, a pressure chamber may be used, if available, to give even higher doses of oxygen. |
| | It is important to find the source of the CO. Your local fire department or public service company will help find the source of CO and make sure the building is safe. |
