      Abstract

      Total body asanguineous hypothermic perfusion proved successful as a treatment of otherwise acute lethal carbon monoxide intoxication in dogs. The technique may prove the therapy of choice in human carbon monoxide poisoning. The rapidity with which carboxyhemoglobin can be removed and replaced with normal hemoglobin containing red blood cells and the technical safety of the procedure warrants its clinical exploration in suitable cases.
