Objective: Recent data suggest that patients surviving acute carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning (COP) may have increased risk for long-term mortality. The objective of this study
was to analyze long-term mortality of a large population of CO-poisoned patients treated at
one medical center over three decades. Design: Retrospective cohort study of patients
treated with hyperbaric oxygen and surviving the acute poisoning episode. Long-term
mortality was compared to a standard population. Comparison of mortality within the cohort …
