Abstract

Chronic occult carbon monoxide poisoning can be a lethal complication of being in a confined environment. The subtlety of the symptoms and the need for immediate care make the role of the emergency department triage nurse essential in helping to facilitate the diagnosis. Posttreatment nursing care also involves instructing the victim and cohabitants on prevention, recognition of signs and symptoms, and the need to monitor for aftereffects.
