ABSTRACT

This is the case of a male patient, aged 19 years, who accidentally inhaled the combustion gases of the vehicle he worked with during his work in an underground construction. This action lasted for around 30 minutes, and after that he stayed in the place for three hours without individual protection devices. It resulted in the onset of symptoms of moderated carbon monoxide intoxication. That was the motivation of admitting him in the hospital for treatment.
