We have read with great interest this article where two options for the clinical control
of carbon monoxide poisoning are analyzed, with great clinical repercussions and effects
on the prognosis of this type of poisoning [
[1]
]. It may be a good treatment option in emergency departments, especially in patients
with comorbidity such as heart failure [

Comparison of non-invasive CPAP with mask use in carbon monoxide poisoning.

]. However, there is not much data on the use of continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) in these patients in the literature, but we think that the differences in CPAP
application in general may cause a difference in treatment response. Therefore, there
are some points that we consider of interest that must be taken into account.Abbreviations:
