Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to measure the levels of total thiol, an antioxidant parameter, in patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning under normobaric oxygen therapy (NBOT), evaluate the time-dependent changes in total thiol levels within the first 6 hours, and examine the course of antioxidants in CO poisoning. 
 Materials and Method: The study population consisted of 85 patients diagnosed with CO poisoning in the ED and 50 volunteers. Total thiol level was measured in the study group at the admission (T0), first (T1) and sixth hour (T6). Carboxyhemoglobin levels, cardiac markers, electrocardiography, and routinely requested tests were investigated in patients with poisoning. The total thiol level was measured in the volunteer group. 
 Results: There was a significant decrease in total thiol mean levels between T0 and T1 (p
