| Specific issues related with carbon monoxide poisoning are the following : establishing precise diagnosis, sorting out of the patients, and security of the rescue team. Following two collective intoxications, we had the opportunity to use portable devices. Results that were obtained led us to conclude that such devices are compulsory, provided that rescue teams have been instructed in regard to directions for use. These devices may then constitute evidence of safety, as they help guide the diagnosis of poisoning-related malaise and allow precise sorting out of patients when numerous victims are encountered.
Les intoxications au monoxyde de carbone posent des problemes de diagnostic, de triage et de securite aux equipes pre-hospitalieres. Nous avons utilise des appareils de mesure portatifs lors de deux intoxications collectives. Les resultats obtenus nous ont amenes a penser que ces appareils sont indispensables dans la panoplie de nos equipes, si l'on en precise les conditions d'utilisation. Ils sont alors un gage de securite, permettent d'orienter le diagnostic dans un bilan de malaise ainsi qu'un triage aise lors d'accidents impliquant de nombreuses victimes.
