Özet
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning on temperament andassociated disorders.Material and Methods: The study was conducted in healthy volunteers and patients who presented to the EmergencyDepartment of Kirikkale University Hospital after exposure to CO. Patients with a carboxyhemoglobin level of ?10%patients were evaluated at the time of presentation and 3 months after discharge using the Temperament Evaluation ofMemphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A) temperament scale. Repeated analysis of variance wasapplied for comparisons. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The study included 110 participants: 68 in the CO poisoning group and 42 healthy volunteers. Significantdifferences between the groups were observed in the TEMPS-A scores for depressive type (p=0.016) and anxious type(p=0.01) at first presentation and for the irritability type (p=0.02) and anxious type (p=0.034) at 3 months after thedischarge. When the temperament scale scores of the CO poisoning patients were compared according to evaluation time(first presentation and 3 months after discharge), no significant difference in temperament types was observed.Conclusion: Although the temperament types related to depression and anxiety were affected after CO poisoning, theydid not change completely. Further research is needed to better understand the psychiatric effects of CO poisoning.
