Notas del episodio

Welcome to our fifth podcast episode based on the March 2021 edition of the Clinical Communiqué.

In this podcast episode we will hear about deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning – a gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-based compounds. Carbon monoxide is often referred to as the ‘silent killer’ because it is colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-irritating, and extremely toxic. Carbon monoxide poisoning is an entirely preventable illness, and if identified early enough, is wholly reversible.
