• The ECHM has been contacted by the World Health Organization (WHO) to ask us about data regarding the number of carbon monoxide (CO) poisonings. We know that usually HBO centers do not collect epidemiological data for CO poisoning cases which do not need HBO therapy, but we do believe that our experience and existing OXYNET network of HBO centers can be useful for analysis of morbidity due to CO poisoning. Therefore, we would like to ask you to complete the short questionnaire based on 2008 data and send us your feedback.The questionnaire can be downloaded in the AcrobatReader format (here) or Word format (here). Please, send this document by e-mail to office@echm.org or by fax to: +48 58 6222789.
