Özet
Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most common causes of unintentional poisonings resulting in death. Patients with more severe findings such as loss of consciousness and persistent neurological or cardiovascular dysfunction require hospitalization. Although there are clinical findings which determine hospitalization criteria in patients presenting with CO poisoning, there is some ambiguity regarding laboratory biomarkers which determine length of hospital stay (LOS) in these patients. In this study, we aimed to identify the effectiveness of initial blood gases and biochemical parameters in predicting LOS in patients presenting to the emergency department with CO poisoning by retrospective analysis of medical records.
