Özet

Objective: Previous studies have reported on a link between carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels and the severity of presenting findings. However, studies on pediatric populations evaluating the effect of age on presenting symptoms are severely lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of any link between age and presenting symptoms in children with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
