Abstract
Carbon monoxide poisoning leads to the destruction of nerve cells and results in late neurological symptoms. The article presents the clinical symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and related consciousness disorders. A case study is analyzed which shows the characteristics of a person who, after carbon monoxide poisoning, was initially in a coma, then in a state of minimal consciousness, and is now in full consciousness. Rehabilitation and therapeutic activities are described, with particular emphasis placed on communication activities. The therapies undertaken have contributed to the better functioning of the examined person.
