First-aid for carbon monoxide poisoning
如果您的孩子或其他家庭成员有CO中毒的任何症状，请保持冷静，但迅速采取行动。
- 离开该区域，立即获得新鲜空气。只有在不危害自己或他人的情况下可以安全地这样做，仅关闭一氧化碳源。
- 致电911或您当地的紧急医疗服务（EMS）。
- If your child has stopped breathing, start CPR and do not stop until your child breathes on his/her own or someone else can take over. If you can, have someone call 911 right away. If you are alone, perform CPR for one minute and then call 911.
一氧化碳暴露的进一步治疗将由您的孩子的医生确定。紧急医疗可能包括氧气疗法，血液检查，胸部X射线以及心脏和神经系统评估。
Protect against carbon monoxide poisoning
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 200 people each year die in the US from carbon monoxide poisoning that comes from fuel-burning appliances such as space heaters, furnaces, ranges, and water heaters. Burning charcoal inside a house, garage, vehicle, or tent is also responsible for carbon monoxide-related deaths. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the cause of several thousand visits to hospital emergency rooms each year.
- Have your furnace and fireplace cleaned and inspected before each heating season. Have other fuel burning appliances checked regularly.
- 仅在通风良好的地区使用非电气空间加热器。
- Do not start or idle gas lawn mowers, cars, trucks, or other vehicles in an enclosed area, even with the garage doors open.
- 尽可能在外面排气燃料的电器。
- 永远不要在您的房屋，车库，帐篷或露营车内使用木炭烤架。
- Do not use portable heaters or lanterns while sleeping in enclosed areas such as tents, campers, and other vehicles. This is especially important at high altitudes, where the risk of CO poisoning is increased.
- Read and follow manufacturer instructions and precautions that come with any fuel-burning device.
- Do not ever use a gas oven for heat inside your home.
- Use an approved carbon monoxide detector with an audible alarm inside your home.
- 当使用汽油动力发电机供电时，应注意使发电机保持安全的距离。
