Psychological sequelae to carbon monoxide intoxication in the child. 1985

M Klees, and M Heremans, and S Dougan

Twenty children from 25 months to 15 years old at the time of carbon monoxide intoxication have been studied in a short-term follow-up, and 14 children in a long-term follow-up, as far as their psychological and cognitive faculties are concerned. The quality of recovery is a function of the severeness of the intoxication, but the intellectual level of the children, and primarily their age at the time of the intoxication, also play a major role.
