Exposure to carbon monoxide is the leading cause of poisoning in the world and causes hundreds of deaths every year.

For those fortunate enough to survive exposure to co gas, carbon monoxide poisoning can result in the need for extensive medical care and result in a life-long permanent disability.

Carbon monoxide causes damage by combining with the hemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO). This prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to vital organs, causing a condition known as hypoxia. Even though the victim appears to be breathing fine, their organs may be suffocating, including the brain.

Oxygen treatment is the most common immediate response to carbon monoxide exposure. Oxygenating the victim is usually done by giving them almost pure oxygen to breathe. In extreme cases, they may be placed in a hyperbaric chamber, which provides a nearly pure oxygen environment, forcing oxygen into the starved organs.

Following the initial exposure, continuing medical care may be required to treat the effects of any brain damage from carbon monoxide poisoning that may have occurred. In extreme cases, this may result in the need for around the clock medical care and assistance to help individuals with their daily activities.
