Abstract EN
Background.
Acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries.
Twelve Hand Jing Points (THJP) have been believed to be effective to treat all kinds of emergency calls in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for more than 3000 years.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of THJP in curing acute carbon monoxide poisoning in first aid treatment.
This paper reports the protocol of the trial.
Methods/Design.
This RCT is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study undergoing in China.
The compliant patients are divided into the bloodletting group and standard of care group.
With first aid treatments given to both of the groups, the bloodletting group is bleeding at THJP upon being hospitalized.
Primary outcomes and secondary outcomes will be measured and compared between these two groups.
Before treatment, immediately after treatment, and 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours after treatment, patients’ basic vital signs and state of consciousness were observed.
Before treatment and 1 and 4 hours after treatment, carboxyhemoglobin concentration in venous blood samples was detected.
Discussion.
The objective of this study is to provide convincing evidence to clarify the efficacy and safety of THJP for early treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
