- Abstract
Objective: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most important toxicological global causes of morbidity and mortality. Carbon monoxide poisoning causes myocardial damage and arrhythmias by impairing the transport of oxygen. In the literature, there have been few cases of CO poisoning-induced atrial fibrillation (AF) reported. In this case, we report a successful conversion of sinus rhythm into a female patient by providing high flow oxygen (to intubate) to the atrial fibrillation caused by CO toxicity. Case: We report a 53-year-old female patient who had atrial fibrillation due to carbon monoxide poisoning and was given sinus rhythm after removal of hypoxia. Conclusion: The patient was intubated and hypoxia was removed after high flow oxygen. After 12 hours, the patient was extubated on the improvement of the blood gas parameters. Normal sinus rhythm was detected on the control ECG.
