Abstract

Acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most frequent causes of acute Intoxication .It has nonspecific and variable symptoms and can cause numerous complications among them neurological ones are especially considerable. Children are one of the most vulnerable groups. In this study we discuss the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and outcome of 52 children with carbon monoxide poisoning referred to Loghman hospital from 1999 to 2004. In our study CO exposure were mostly attributed to problems associated with gas Furnace and heat appliances. The most number of admitted patients (43.3%) were residents of south part of Tehran, a region which almost includes families with low income. The most common symptoms were lethargy (46.20/0) and vomiting (32.7 %). Headache, Dizziness, agitation and seizure were the other common findings. The survival rate is 94.3 % We concluded high frequency of poisoning among children between 6 - 14 years especially in south parts of Tehran. It necessitates promotion of primary and secondary preventive intervention in order to prevent the neurological and nonneurological sequels of CO poisoning.
