Another perspective on ACEP policy on critical issues in carbon monoxide poisoning: Invited commentary

Neil B Hampson et al. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2017 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) recently published its official policy on the evaluation and management of patients with acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning [1], an update of the policy previously published in 2008. Three questions regarding CO poisoning were posed to a 30-person ACEP subcommittee, which employed a comprehensive literature review to attempt to draw conclusions. While this is a major step forward, we feel that their conclusions warrant comment.

Keywords: CO-oximetry; hyperbaric oxygen.
