Hyperbaric oxygen plus Nimodipine for carbon monoxide poisoning / 中华全科医师杂志

Four hundred eighty patients with carbon monoxide poisoning were randomly assigned to receive hyperbaric oxygen alone or hyperbaric oxygen plus Nimodipine.Treatment outcomes and the incidence of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP)were observed.We found that the incidence of DEACMP was 14.0％(67/480)in all cases,19.2％(46/67)in hyperbaric oxygen group,and 8.8％(21/67)in hyperbaric oxygen plus Nimodipine group(hyperbaric oxygen group vs hyperbaric oxygen plus Nimodipine group,P＜0.05).These results suggested that hyperbaric oxygen combined with Nimodipine could prevent the development of DEACMP.
