Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning in an adolescent
with Pneumomediastinum after COVID-19 pneumonia : a case report
Abstract
Little is known about the complications of COVID-19. What happens when a
patient with carbon monoxide poisoning has complications from COVID-19
pneumonia (a disease that has emerged since 2019 and quickly caused a
pandemic around the world)? We report a case of carbon monoxide
poisoning with COVID-19 pneumonia resulting in secondary
pneumomediastinum. The patient underwent systemic hyperbaric oxygen
therapy for two weeks and most of his symptoms improved. This case
illustrates the success of hyperbaric oxygen in the simultaneous
treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia, pneumomediastinum, and carbon monoxide
poisoning.
