The UHMS/CDC carbon monoxide poisoning surveillance program: three-year data.

摘要

As described earlier in this issue of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal, the Undersea and Hyper-baric Medical Society (UHMS) collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2008-2011 to trial online surveillance for carbon monoxide poisoning in the United States [1].Over those three years, 64 UHMS member facilities reported unidentifiable demographic, epidemiologic and clinical data on 1,907 patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen for CO poisoning. The following data summary for those 1,907 patients represents an enormous effort by UHMS members who collected, collated and submitted the information, and each of them is extended sincere thanks from those who planned, supported and conducted this project.
