Working processes leading to the production of carbon monoxide on board, prevention measure, clinical image of poisoning and treatment of poisoned with carbon monoxide

U ovom radu analizirani su radni procesi koji dovode do proizvodnje ugljičnog monoksida (CO), koji predstavlja veliku opasnost za čovjeka, kako u životnom prostoru gdje najviše obitava, tako i na brodu. Otrovanje koje se opisuje u radu uzrokovano je izlaganjem opasnom plinu, koji je plin sistemskog djelovanja. Pomorcima u svakodnevnom radu na brodu, pogotovo onima koji dugi niz godina plove prijeti jako mnogo otrova. Posebnu opasnost od izlaganja ugljičnom monoksidu imaju pomorci koji prevoze teret pogodan za stvaranje ovog plina te oni koji plove na manjim brodovima gdje je opasnost od otrovanja ugljičnim monoksidom realno veća. Zadovoljavanje odgovarajućih konstrukcijskih standarda kao i korištenje osobnih zaštitnih sredstava i postupaka mjere su za sprječavanje otrovanja ugljičnim monoksidom. Brodski časnik ima veliku ulogu u pružanju prve pomoći kod životno ugroženih članova posade broda. Jedna od ključnih uloga časnika odgovornog za pružanje prve pomoći i medicinske skrbi je pružanje adekvatne skrbi oboljelom ili životno ugroženom članu posade prema propisanim procedurama. Važno je napomenuti kako i svi ostali članovi posade snose određenu odgovornost, počevši od prepoznavanja znakova opasnosti od stvaranja plina te prevencije istog.This paper analyzes the work processes that lead to the production of carbon monoxide (CO), which represents a great danger for humans, both in the living space where most people live, and on board. The poisoning described in the paper is caused by exposure to a dangerous gas, which is a systemic gas. Seafarers are exposed to many poisons in their daily work on board, especially those who have been sailing for many years. Seafarers who transport cargo suitable for the formation of this gas, and those who sail on smaller ships where the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is actually greater, are at particular risk of exposure to carbon monoxide. Meeting appropriate construction standards as well as using personal protective equipment and procedures are measures to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The ship's officer plays a major role in providing first aid to life-threatening ship crew members. One of the key roles of the officer responsible for providing first aid and medical care is to provide adequate care to a sick or life-threatening crew member according to prescribed procedures. However, it is important to note that all other crew members bear a certain responsibility, starting with recognizing the signs of the danger of gas formation and preventing it
