S2k guideline diagnosis and treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide (CO) can occur in numerous situations and ambient conditions, such as fire smoke, indoor fireplaces, silos containing large quantities of wood pellets, engine exhaust fumes, and when using hookahs.Symptoms of CO poisoning are nonspecific and can range from dizziness, headache, and an...
