“…In fact, only one author published the occurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after a HBO session in a carbon monoxide poisoning case. He supposed that inhibition of the conduction in the atrial sinus due to hyperoxigenation led to this heart rhythm disorder (3). This case report has raised a serious controversy (4).…”

Heart rhythm disorders are widely reported as complications of scuba diving but rarely after HBO therapy. We report the case of a professional diver who developed a paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after hyperbaric oxygen therapy as treatment of diving accident. It is a professional diver admitted for the treatment of a cochleovestibular desaturation accident. The initial ECG showed normal sinus rhythm. He received 10 HBO therapy sessions. We discovered a heart rhythm disorder. The ECG showed an atrial fibrillation. Heart rhythm returned to sinus after receiving FLECAIN®. Control ECG after 2 months showed a normal sinus rhythm.

“…Vücudun hemen her organını etkilemekle birlikte, hipoksi ile uyarılan hücresel hasar nedeniyle serebral ve miyokardiyal tutulum baskındır 4 . Akut CO zehirlenmesinin semptomları nonspesifiktir; baş ağrısı, bulantı, kusma, baş dönmesi, göğüs ağrısı, nefes darlığı, halsizlik, ataksi, senkop, nöbet, koma ve ölüm görülebilir 5 . Karbon monoksit; kardiyovasküler sistemde miyokardiyal hasara ve aritmilere neden olmaktadır.…”

“…Literatürde CO intoksikasyonu ile indüklenen atriyal fibrilasyon (AF) olguları nadirdir 4,6 . Tanı; laboratuvar tetkiklerinden COHb seviyesinin yüksekliği ile konulabilmektedir; yine miyokardiyal hasarın ve aritmilerin belirlenmesi için elektrokardiyografi (EKG) ve kardiyak enzim takibi önemlidir 5…”
