A 57-year-old man admitted with severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning suffered life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE) after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in the absence of other risk factors for thromboembolism, and was successfully treated with thrombolysis. CO is a thrombophilic condition predisposing to PE and active surveillance is advisable.
