Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: All you need to know I Health and Nutrition

This video presents Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: All you need to know
Causes
Any sources that burn fuel will release CO out in the air. CO can be emitted by vehicles like cars and planes, some cooking utensils such as wood stoves and charcoal grills among others. CO appears everywhere harmless but it can become a serious problem when:
You come into a closing space like garages and leave engines of cars, trucks or any other still revving up.
You set up and use fuel-burning appliances in the wrong way.
You turn on fuel-burning heating systems and appliances when all the windows and doors are closed.
Symptoms
Here are early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: Headache, dizziness, and nausea. When CO gets into your blood, the symptoms can become more severe, including: Confusion and drowsiness, panting, fast heartbeat, or pain in the chest, blurred vision, and seizures. If you think your symptoms are caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, get out of the property immediately or call the local emergency number.
Diagnose
You are highly susceptible to CO poisoning if having severe headache, nausea, or dizziness during the winter. This risk is higher if you find other roommates or colleagues sharing the symptoms. Even your pets can get sick too. When your doctor thinks you may get carbon monoxide poisoning, you have to take a blood test to gauge the amount of CO in your blood.
Treatment
The patient that comes down with CO poisoning should be treated by oxygen therapy to balance the oxygen level in blood. The treatment is divided into 2 kinds:
100% oxygen therapy. For this treatment, you just have to wear an oxygen mask.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. You will be delivered to a high-pressure chamber that aids in cutting down on carbon monoxide levels in the blood.
Prevention
Safe use of vehicles
Turn off your car’s engine in the garage
Do not ride in the back of a pickup truck with a camper shell.
Avoid swimming near a boat or being pulled by a jet ski if they are idling or running at low speed.
Do not sit in a running car if snow or mud block its tailpipe.
Safe use of fuel-burning tools and appliances
Inspect all fuel-burning appliances (such as oil or gas heaters, stoves, water heaters, and space heaters, fireplaces, and wood stoves) every year.
Make sure chimneys, flues, and vents always in good shape, properly connected, and not blocked.
Close a fireplace or stove damper only when the fire is completely put out.
Stop using gas-powered generators, lawn equipment, gas or charcoal grill inside your house.
Carbon monoxide detectors
Put carbon monoxide detectors around the house, especially your sleeping areas.
Stick to the instructions if you have a detector installed. Learn what to do when the alarm goes off.
Besides carbon monoxide detectors, it is essential to check appliances regularly and use them safely.
