Back to client websiteChronic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning can lead to brain injury, heart damage and harm to other organs. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has long been recognized as an effective intervention for acute CO poisoning. However, the effects of CO poisoning can become chronic when not recognized and treated quickly. A growing body of research offers evidence that HBOT may resolve the neurological impairments suffered by patients with CO poisoning in the chronic stage.
