The goal of this article was to provide an overview of the literature available
on carbon dioxide intoxication. Articles were included based on their focus on
medical or physiological effects of carbon dioxide. Studies related to
decompression sickness were excluded. Mechanisms of carbon dioxide poising (both
as an asphyxiant and as a toxicant) were described. Our review suggested that
precautions are needed when handling dry ice or while working in confined spaces.
Pre-hospital responders also need to pay attention for the possible diagnosis of
CO(2) intoxication for their own safety. When confronted with a victim, he/she
should be removed from the dangerous area as fast as possible and oxygen should
be administered. Without adequate treatment, victims may show acute reduced
cognitive performance, respiratory failure, and circulatory arrest. Therefore,
carbon dioxide poisoning is a rare but not to miss diagnosis in the emergency
department.
