Carbon monoxide poisoning is very likely to leave sequelae. In severe cases, the patient may show slow movements, impaired consciousness, or mental confusion, or even abnormal symptoms such as disordered behavior and incoherent speech.

1. Dementia type:

4 Gas poisoning is generally divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe

People with mild gas poisoning will experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and weakness in the limbs. These symptoms will disappear quickly as long as they leave the poisoning site and inhale fresh air. In addition to having more severe symptoms than those with mild gas poisoning, patients with moderate gas poisoning may also experience coma or collapse, and their skin and mucous membranes will be cherry red, especially on the cheeks, chest, and inner thighs.

5. Severe gas poisoning:

Victims of severe gas poisoning will experience symptoms such as deep coma, dilated pupils, loss of various reactions, incontinence of urine and feces, and may also suffer from cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, heart rhythm disorders, and myocardial damage. Such patients often eventually die from respiratory paralysis.
