Review Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Hyperbaric or normobaric oxygen for acute carbon monoxide poisoning: a randomised controlled clinical trial.
To assess neurological sequelae in patients with all grades of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric oxygen (NBO). ⋯ In this trial, in which both groups received high doses of oxygen, HBO therapy did not benefit, and may have worsened, the outcome. We cannot recommend its use in CO poisoning.
