[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Illustration of a treatment protocol].

After a brief digression on the etiopathogenesis of carbon monoxide poisoning, the paper underlines the importance of the timely use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment not only to impede the immediate effects of CO, but also to reduce the incidence of neurological complications. The paper illustrates the paroxysm protocol and hyperbaric oxygen treatment protocol used by the Authors.
