Abstract:
Two hundred and twenty three cases of acute carbon monoxide poisoning were observed during acute stage and followed-up subsequently for three months. Through single factor and multiple factors analyses, six out of 97 observed factors were demonstrated as risk factors for the development of delayed encephalopathy, namely, elderliness, mental work, previously with hypertension, coma lasting for 2-3 days, long standing dizziness and fatigue after regaining consciousness and mental stimulation during recovery. Based on these factors, a regression equation for predicting the probability of developing delayed encephalopathy in individual patient with acute carbon monoxide poisoning has been established In order to minimize the development of delayed encephalopathy, it is advisable to keep the patients of acute carbon monoxide poisoning with above mentioned related factors under constant monitoring and surveillance.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
