The clinical presentation of CO poisoning may be mild, moderate, or severe. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Bradykinesia presents as a slowness of voluntary movement and reduced automatic movements. It is particularly noticeable in a reduced arm swing whilst walking. [patient.info]

Parkinsonism was the main presenting feature. She responded very well to treatment with levodopa and bromocriptine. Acknowledgement We acknowledge the help of Mrs. [ispub.com]

However, tremors can sometimes be present asymmetrically. Akinesia along with the loss of arm swing is usually the earliest symptom of drug drug induced parkinsonism. [pdring.com]

A series of treatments is suggested for use as a bundle therapy with targeted temperature management as the base treatment method. A series of potent treatments in combination could bring a greater benefit. [nrronline.org]

Treatment Treatment of PD is usually with a combination of anti-Parkinson drugs, including levodopa, and auxilliary therapies like physical therapy. In Parkinsonism, treatment will be directed the cause, once it is identified. [pdring.com]

Although anecdotal case reports have shown a good prognosis after induced hypothermia in patients with severe acute CO poisoning, the current clinical indications of induced hypothermia have not included acute CO poisoning [ 9, 10 ]. [ceemjournal.org]

Prognosis Slowly progressive with a mean duration of fifteen years. Severity, however, varies widely. It follows a relatively benign course in some patients, who may show little disability after twenty years. [patient.info]

Etiology  Heredity  Antipsychotic drugs (or neuroleptic agents)  Encephalitis infection in response to brain trauma, tumors, hydrocephalus or ischaemia  Arteriosclerosis  Neurotoxins such as cyanide, manganese and carbon monoxide  Drugs like reserpine [slideshare.net]

Pathophysiology of CO intoxication is complex. CO reacts readily and reversibly with hemoglobin that results in carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb). CO-Hb interferes with the transport of oxygen from alveoli to tissues. [em-consulte.com]
