In fire victims, carbon monoxide often acts synergistically with cyanide and other toxic components of fire emissions. The combined action may exacerbate neurological symptoms and respiratory distress. Clinical intervention underestimating these mixed exposures may compromise the chance of survival and strongly facilitates the development of toxic neurological sequalae.

Abstract

In fire victims, carbon monoxide often acts synergistically with cyanide and other toxic components of fire emissions. The combined action may exacerbate neurological symptoms and respiratory distress. Clinical intervention underestimating these mixed exposures may compromise the chance of survival and strongly facilitates the development of toxic neurological sequalae.
