Detailed Description
CO-poisoned patients are identified by medical history and carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb) value
5% (>10% in smokers). Patients presenting with acute CO poisoning will receive one HBO. ASCOP is defined as mental status showing response to painful stimulus or unresponsiveness requiring intubation for airway protection and ventilation support at the emerency department, and persistence of depressed mental status despite the HBO. After HBO treatment, eligible patients who provide consent will be randomly allocated to receive hypothermia, or normothermia treatment administered in a open label fashion except for blinding of outcome assessor.
Outcome measures will be administered at 1 month and 6 months after CO exposure. In addition, we will examine the differences in serum markers and mortality between the hypothermia and normothermia groups.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Hypothermia group Hypothermia group is then performed at a body temperature of 33±0.5 °C during 24 h using a surface cooling device as soon as possible after the HBO and research consent. After therapeutic hypothermia ended, rewarming is done slowly between 0.2℃ - 0.5℃/h for 12 hours. After rewarming, it will be held at 36.5 ℃ for 36 hours. |
Other: Targeted therapeutic hypothermia
Targeted therapeutic hypothermia is then performed at a body temperature of 33±0.5 °C during 24 h using a surface cooling device as soon as possible after the HBO and research consent. After TH ended, rewarming is done slowly between 0.2℃ - 0.5℃/h for 12 hours. After rewarming, it will be held at 36.5 ℃ for 36 hours.
|
Active Comparator: Normothermia group For normothermia group, it will be held at 36.5±0.5 ℃ for 72 hours using a surface cooling device after the HBO and research consent. |
Other: Targeted therapeutic normothermia
Targeted therapeutic normothermia will be held at 36.5±0.5 ℃ for 72 hours using a surface cooling device after the HBO and research consent.
