Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the main causes of poisoning and death
due to intoxication in nowadays society because of the characteristics of this gas, which
make it unidentifiable in the environment, and of the many possible sources of production
(heating systems, motor vehicles and fires). It is important to recognise the symptoms
associated with exposure to CO to be able to take action in the shortest time possible
and effectively, thus avoiding complications not only in the short but also in the long
term. The present article reports the recommendations for a prompt diagnosis and a correct
management of carbon monoxide poisoning, paying particular attention to possible
long-term sequelae.
