Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and SPECT Brain Imaging in Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Brief Summary: That SPECT brain imaging tracks and is consistent with clinical history and physical exam as well as cognitive testing.

Detailed Summary: The study is a retrospective review of the PI's experience using SPECT brain imaging and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the diagnosis and treatment of non-acute phases of carbon monoxide poisoning. The purpose is to see if the SPECT brain imaging is consistent with the clinical condition and cognitive testing on the patients.

Current Primary Outcome: SPECT brain imaging [ Time Frame: after completion of HBOT ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • clinical history and physical exam [ Time Frame: after completion of HBOT ]
  • Neuropsychological testing [ Time Frame: After the final HBOT ]
    Neuropsychological testing performed after the final HBOT in those who had neuropsychological testing before HBOT


Original Secondary Outcome: clinical history and physical exam [ Time Frame: after completion of HBOT ]
