[Acute carbon monoxide poisoning in the emergency service. The importance of early signs. 90 cases].
The authors describe 90 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning admitted to their unit. The high incidence of accidental poisoning may be partly related to the energy crisis. They underline the importance of recognising the early symptoms, headache, vomiting, weakness of the legs, allowing early diagnosis before irreversible complication set in.
