Abstract

CO poisoning is the most common cause of injuries and deaths after poisoning worldwide. Exposed charcoals and furnaces are often used for heating in parts of world. When CO poisoning occurs in a coma, people may faint on burning charcoal and furnace, and suffer severe burns. This article reports two cases of severe burns caused by CO poisoning, and the first patient even required amputation of his left leg. Besides, the long and painful treatments and irreversible changes in appearance and function have brought huge economic pressure and serious psychological barriers to patients. Therefore, education and prevention of CO poisoning are indeed worthy of attention.
