BACKGROUND: We sought to determine how quickly carbon monoxide would accumulate in the passenger compartment of a snow-obstructed vehicle. METHODS: A 1992 sedan was buried in snow to the level of the undercarriage, the ignition was then engaged and carbon monoxide levels recorded at 2.5-minute intervals. The primary outcome was the time at which a lethal carbon monoxide level was detected. Six ...
