Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the risk factors for "delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (DNS)" following acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, focusing on 79 patients treated for CO poisoning in Japan.
- Predictors of DNS included serious consciousness disturbances at admission, specific head CT findings, high levels of certain laboratory markers, and low Global Assessment Scale scores.
- Prolonged hospital stays and more hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions were noted in patients who developed DNS, suggesting the need for proactive treatment and follow-up care for these high-risk individuals.
