Carbon monoxide poisoning is a leading cause of mortality among accidental intoxications, it is responsible for severe tissular hypoxia leading to life-threatening complications. Pregnant women are more at risk to develop severe forms of intoxication due to their physiological changes and their higher oxygen requirements as well as for possible adverse fetal outcomes. We present two cases of monoxide intoxication in two pregnant women with acute heart failure and variant complications with different fetal outcomes.
