Özet

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a common and deadly public health

problem worldwide. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in the blood,

reducing the amount of oxygen that can be carried to the body's tissues,

leading to hypoxia and tissue damage, particularly in the brain and heart.

The traditional treatment of patients with carbon monoxide poisoning is

normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Severe carbon monoxide

poisonings have persistent neurological effects and high morbidity rates.

As the pathophysiology of carbon monoxide poisoning is understood,

new treatment methods are being researched and developed. These new

and promising treatment methods are: antidote treatments aiming at

preventing oxidative stress and inflammation, neuroprotective drugs,

treatments that prevent the binding of carbon monoxide to hemecontaining

proteins, and methods that increase the separation of carbon

monoxide from hemoglobin, are treatment methods that have the ability

to regenerate and repair damaged tissues.
