Treatment of Inhaled Poisons. The immediate treatment for any inhaled poisoning is to remove the patient from the source of the poison. Maintain the airway and move the patient to fresh air. Although not readily available in the wilderness, administration of oxygen is standard treatment. A patient who experiences a notable disturbance in alertness or coordination, complains of breathing difficulty, or becomes unresponsive should be evacuated to a physician for evaluation.

Prevent inhaled poisoning by keeping tents or snow shelters well ventilated during cooking or, better yet, by cooking outside.
