Abstract

As a result of acute carbon monoxide poisoning ventilatory disturbances were found in 62.2% of 91 examined persons, who had never before suffered from any respiratory diseases. An obturation of the central and small bronchi and mixed disorders proved to be the most frequent ventilatory disturbance. In a larger group of patients regression of respiratory disorders was observed after treatment. However, in 44% of medium and severe poisoned persons respiratory disorders, mainly small bronchi obturation, persisted after medication.
