The purpose of the study was to define characteristics of children with acute
carbon monoxide poisoning. Eighty children hospitalized with acute carbon
monoxide poisoning were recruited prospectively over a period of 12 months.
Sociodemographic features, complaints and laboratory data were recorded. When the
patient was discharged, necessary preventive measures to be taken were explained
to parents. One month later, the parents were questioned during a control
examination regarding the precautions that they took. The ages of the cases were
between one month and 16 yr. Education levels were low in 86.2% of mothers and
52.6% of fathers. All families had low income and 48.8% did not have formal
housing. The source of the acute carbon monoxide poisoning was stoves in 71.2% of
cases and hot-water heaters in 28.8% of cases. Three or more people were poisoned
at home in 85.1% of the cases. The most frequent symptoms of poisoning were
headache and vertigo (58.8%). Median carboxyhemoglobin levels at admission to the
hospital and discharge were measured as 19.5% and 1.1% (P < 0.001). When families
were called for re-evaluation, it was determined that most of them had taken the
necessary precautions after the poisoning incident (86.3%). This study determined
that children with acute childhood carbon monoxide poisoning are usually from
families with low socioeconomic and education levels. Education about prevention
should be provided to all people who are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
before a poisoning incident occurs.
