Hyperbaric oxygen in treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

During a period of 5 months 44 patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning were treated with hyperbaric oxygen. In 80% of cases very good results were obtained. Analizing the causes of death the following factors were considered: the duration of exposure to carbon monoxide, the age of patients and the degree of unconsciousness at the time of hospital admission. The patients stayed in a hyperbaric chamber for 90 min. on the average. The mean pressure of 100% oxygen was 2.5 ATA. When lower pressures were applied the time necessary for elimination of the same amount of carbon monoxide from the organism was slightly prolonged, nevertheless, the use of lower pressures is recommended, since it reduced the risk of toxic effects on oxygen.

[Clinical evaluation of hydroxy-ethylated starch (preparation HAES)].

Hydroxy-ethylated starch (HAES-Fresenius) has been evaluated clinically at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Medical Academy in Warsaw. This plasma substitute is used in several countries as plasma substitute similar to dextran but of better properties. Results of our studies have shown, that HAES is worth its opinion. It is quite good plasma substitute of favourable effect on tissue perfusion. The above features together with a wide therapeutical margin and the lack of any effect on blood coagulation place HAES over dextran plasma substitutes. This preparation should have wider use in Poland.
