CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. CLASSIFICATION. PATHOGENESIS. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS. THERAPEUTIC CARE

The article presents modern ideas about carbon monoxide poisoning – the concept and definitions, epidemiology, classification, the main mechanisms in the development of the disease, approaches to diagnosis and the basic principles of the organization of therapeutic care at the stages of medical evacuation in acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur in case of fires, malfunctions or improper use of the gas network or furnace heating. A large amount of carbon monoxide is formed during the operation of automotive (and any other) internal combustion engines.

Due to the increased frequency of terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles on industrial facilities in the Russian Federation and the emergence of large foci of their ignition, the number of carbon monoxide poisoning has increased. The continuing tense situation near the state border of the Republic of Belarus with an increasing likelihood of such incidents on our territory requires good training of medical workers and emergency service specialists in the knowledge of pathology caused by carbon monoxide.
