Description
Carbon monoxide from a faulty heater can injure a child's brain for years, and which children carry lasting harm is hard to foresee. Tuoying Wen and four co-authors followed 113 poisoned children in China in 2024, for an average of three and a half years after discharge. Most poisonings traced to gas water heaters used in closed bathrooms.
Thirteen children, about one in nine, showed lasting cognitive problems. Longer unconsciousness, higher inflammation markers, and seizures during the stay marked the higher risk group. Brain swelling was the commonest scan finding. The authors say the pattern can guide which children get long follow up. Prevention, they add, starts with the heater and the room.
