Evaluation of outcome after acute carbon monoxide poisoning by brain CT.

摘要: Of 129 patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, 62(48.0%) had characteristic computed tomographic (CT) findings. The most common finding, seen in 42 patients, was low-density the cerebral white matter, and second feature, 33 both globus pallidi. Abnormal CT findings tended to increase accordance duration of unconsciousness during acute CO but such occurred even when mental state clear illness. prognosis poisoning depended on lesions matter rather than those pallidus. There also seemed be a significant correlation between changes initial scan development delayed neurologic sequelae after particularly middle age or older no clinical outcome sequelae.
