N2  - The severity of signs and symptoms following carbon monoxide intoxication often does not relate to admission carboxyhaemoglobin levels. Two cases are presented with severe neurological impairment despite carboxyhaemoglobin levels of 2% and 1.7% on admission to hospital, who responded well to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In one case, symptoms recurred several days later, but responded to further hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The role of and possible mechanism of action of late hyperbaric oxygen treatment in carbon monoxide intoxication are discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
