Abstract

Carbon monoxide CO is a colorless, odorless gas with the nonirritative feature that does not completely burn. A high level of respiration has a lethal effect. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a major public health problem, is the frequently encountered cause of morbidity and mortality in Turkey, especially in the winter months. It has also been reported in literature that CO intoxications go hand in hand with substance addiction. The use of tetrahydrocannabinol THC/marijuana often leads to the dependence on substances such as cigarette, alcohol and caffeine. In this study of cases where death resulted from CO intoxication and THC was determined in the blood, the effects created by the drug on the neuropsychiatric and cognitive capacity are discussed

Özet

Karbonmonoksit CO renksiz, kokusuz, tam olarak yanmayan non irritatif özellikte bir gazdır. Yüksek seviyede solunduğunda letal etkiye sahiptir. Önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan karbonmonoksit zehirlenmesi ülkemiz için özellikle kış aylarında görülen, oldukça sık rastlanan morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Literatürde CO intoksikasyonlarına madde bağımlılığının da eşlik ettiği bildirilmiştir. Tetrahidrokannabinol THC/esrar maddesinin kullanımı sıklığı sigara, alkol, kafein gibi bağımlılık yapıcı maddelerden sonra gelmektedir Bu çalışmamızda, kanlarında THC saptanan ve CO entoksikasyonu sonucu ölen olgular üzerinden, esrarın nöropsikiyatrik ve bilişsel yetenekler üzerinde oluşturduğu etkiler tartışılmıştır
