Journal Article
Hyperbaric Oxygen for Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
2002
Overview
Cognitive sequelae often occur after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. This double-blind, randomized trial assigned subjects either to three sessions in a hyperbaric-oxygen chamber or to one normobaric-oxygen treatment plus two sessions of exposure to normobaric room air, all administered within 24 hours after the end of exposure to carbon monoxide. Cognitive sequelae six weeks later were less frequent among persons who received hyperbaric-oxygen therapy (25.0 percent) than among those who received normobaric-oxygen treatment (46.1 percent, P=0.007). Differences were sustained 12 months after the episode of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
The results of this double-blind trial support the use of hyperbaric oxygen.

Unfavorable cognitive sequelae (problems with memory, attention or concentration, and affect) can occur immediately after exposure and persist or can be delayed, but they generally occur within 20 days after carbon monoxide poisoning.
