If features of lower level poisoning are present, management includes:
- Removing the person (and all others) from suspected sources of poisoning until all potential sources of CO are shut down and the area has been ventilated
- Arranging immediate hospital assessment for pregnant women
- Arranging an assessment of the potential sources of CO poisoning (see previous page).
- Arranging the measurement of carboxyhaemoglobin levels
If in doubt, a specialist should be contacted. Advice is available 24 hours a day from the UK National Poisons Information Service (NPIS).
