Rapid Initiation of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Multiple Simultaneous Cases of Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning at a Single Center
We report the successful treatment of patients with concurrent acute carbon monoxide poisoning via HBOT at a single facility. This report highlights the feasibility of efficacious treatment at a single facility in scenarios in which multiple individuals experience carbon monoxide poisoning. It is important that all staff members, including those in administration, understand the concept of disaster medicine. Additionally, in HBOT facilities, regular training is needed for events involving a large number of HBOT-indicated patients.
