• #1 The Diagnosis and Treatment of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6381775/

  The initiation of 100% oxygen breathing as early as possible is the most important treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. […] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) should be critically considered and initiated within six hours in patients with neurologic deficits, unconsciousness, cardiac ischemia, pregnancy, and/or a very high COHb concentration. […] The evidence for the benefit advantage of hyperbaric oxygen is weak in view of the heterogeneity of the available studies. The decision in favor of HBOT seems sensible in severe CO intoxication or in pregnant women. […] All patients with symptomatic carbon monoxide poisoning should be treated with 100% oxygen as soon as possible. […] The decision in favor of hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be made if a patient with carbon monoxide poisoning presents with impaired consciousness, cardiac ischemia, neurological deficits, pregnancy, or very high COHb concentrations.

  Anyone exposed to carbon monoxide needs to get into fresh air and seek medical care right away. […] For possible carbon monoxide poisoning, get into fresh air and seek medical care right away. […] If the alarm sounds, believe it! Leave the house and call 911 or emergency medical help. […] Do repairs before returning to where the poisoning occurred. If carbon monoxide poisoning has occurred in the home, find and repair the source of the carbon monoxide leak before staying there again. Have a qualified service professional check and repair any appliances that might have caused the leak. […] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

• #3 How HBOT works as carbon monoxide poisoning treatment | Hyperbaric Healing Treatment Center

  https://hyperbaricsorlando.com/how-hbot-works-as-carbon-monoxide-poisoning-treatment/

  Approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency room every year for accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. […] Although treatable, its essential for those who suspect they have carbon monoxide poisoning to seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid any serious complications. Once emergency care is received, its also important to consider additional treatment options such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy that should be utilized to continue healing and prevent any further damage to the body. […] Carbon monoxide poisoning is highly treatable, but the amount of time it takes to recover depends on the degree and length of exposure. […] If you visit the hospital for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, your diagnosis will first be confirmed with a blood test to measure your level of exposure. From there, you will likely receive standard oxygen treatment where youll breathe 100% pure oxygen through a tight-fitted mask over your nose and mouth until your toxicity levels decrease to below 10%.

• #4 Clinical Guidance for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Following Disasters and Severe Weather | Carbon Monoxide Poisoning | CDC

  https://www.cdc.gov/carbon-monoxide/hcp/clinical-guidance/index.html

  Administer 100% oxygen until the patient is symptom-free, usually about 4-5 hours. […] Consider hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) therapy when the patient has a COHgb level of more than 25-30%, there is evidence of cardiac involvement, severe acidosis, transient or prolonged unconsciousness, neurological impairment, or abnormal neuropsychiatric testing. […] Hyperbaric oxygen is the treatment of choice for pregnant women, even if they are less severely poisoned. Hyperbaric oxygen is safe to administer and international consensus favors it as part of a more aggressive role in treating pregnant women.

• #5 Carbon monoxide poisoning – UpToDate

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/carbon-monoxide-poisoning/print

  Carbon monoxide poisoning treatment involves several key interventions. The key interventions in the management of the CO-poisoned patient are prompt removal from the source of CO and provision of high-flow oxygen. In a patient with suspected or confirmed CO poisoning, we recommend initial treatment with high-flow (100 percent) normobaric oxygen via nonrebreathing face mask, regardless of pulse oximetry or arterial PO2. […] In patients with symptoms consistent with severe CO toxicity, we suggest treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). HBO provides the greatest benefit if treatment begins as early as possible, ideally within six hours, to increase elimination of the carboxyhemoglobinemia and improve tissue oxygenation. […] In patients with CO poisoning from a fire or smoke inhalation who are critically ill, we recommend empiric administration of hydroxocobalamin to treat possible cyanide toxicity. The hydroxocobalamin dose is 70 mg/kg intravenous (IV; 5 g is the standard adult dose) and can be repeated after 10 to 15 minutes if the patient does not have rapid clinical improvement.

• #6 The Diagnosis and Treatment of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6381775/

  The treatment should be continued until the COHb measurement has dropped to normal values (3%) and the patient is free from symptoms. […] The higher the provided partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), the quicker the CO will be eliminated. […] The supreme objective is the elimination of carbon monoxide from the organism, in order to avert acute and long-term sequelae. […] In sum, on the basis of the randomized controlled trials published to date, no superiority can be confirmed for HBOT over normobaric oxygen therapy.

• #7 Carbon Monoxide Toxicity Treatment & Management: Prehospital Care, Emergency Department Care, Special Concerns in Pregnancy

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/819987-treatment

  Prehospital care for patients with CO toxicity includes the following: Promptly remove the patient from continued exposure and immediately institute oxygen therapy with a non-rebreather mask. Intubate patients who are comatose or who otherwise require airway protection, and provide 100% oxygen therapy. Institute cardiac monitoring – Pulse oximetry, although not useful in detecting HbCO, is still important because a low saturation is cause for even greater apprehension in this setting. Notify the emergency department for comatose or unstable patients because rapid or direct transfer to a hyperbaric center may be indicated. Oxygen therapy is usually provided via a non-rebreather mask. However, Roth et al described effective use of noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation using a tight mask and an inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) of 100%. Continue 100% oxygen therapy until the patient is asymptomatic and HbCO levels are below 10%. In patients with cardiovascular or pulmonary compromise, lower thresholds of 2% have been suggested. Consider immediate transfer of patients with levels above 40% or cardiovascular or neurologic impairment to a hyperbaric facility, if feasible. Persistent impairment after 4 hours of normobaric oxygen therapy necessitates transfer to a hyperbaric center. Pregnant patients should be considered for hyperbaric treatment at lower HbCO levels (above 15%). If mild symptoms do not resolve or if severe symptoms are present, HBO therapy should be strongly considered. Specific indications for HBO therapy include a history of seizure or syncope, coma, altered mental status or confusion, an abnormal neurologic examination (particularly if any cerebellar signs are present), an HbCO level higher than 25%, or fetal distress in pregnancy. Despite these individual claims, systematic reviews have not revealed a clear reduction in neurologic sequelae with HBO. A study by Han et al, in which 224 patients with acute CO poisoning were followed for up to 6 months, found no difference in the incidence of delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae between patients receiving HBO and those receiving normobaric oxygen. However, evidence of a mortality benefit with HBO therapy has emerged. A retrospective study by Rose et al that reviewed 1099 cases of CO poisoning in adults concluded that HBO therapy was associated with an absolute risk reduction of 2.1% in both inpatient and 1-year mortality. Presently, universal treatment criteria do not exist; however, a survey of directors of North American HBO facilities demonstrates some consensus. The most common selection criteria (regardless of HbCO level) include the following: Coma, Transient loss of consciousness, Ischemic ECG changes, Focal neurologic deficits, Abnormal neuropsychiatric test results. Complications of therapy include decompression sickness, sinus and middle ear barotrauma, seizure, progression of pneumothorax to tension pneumothorax, gas embolism, reversible visual refractive changes, and complications related to transport of unstable patients. In cases of accidental CO poisoning, patients should be followed up in 4-6 weeks to screen for cognitive sequelae. With intentional poisoning, psychiatric follow-up is mandatory, given the high rate of subsequent completed suicide.

• #8 Carbon monoxide poisoning – UpToDate

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/carbon-monoxide-poisoning

  High-flow oxygen […] In a patient with suspected or confirmed CO poisoning, we recommend initial treatment with high-flow (100 percent) normobaric oxygen via nonrebreathing face mask, regardless of pulse oximetry or arterial PO2. Elimination of CO starts once the patient is removed from the exposure and is almost exclusively via the pulmonary circulation through competitive binding of hemoglobin by oxygen. The half-life of COHb in a patient breathing room air is approximately 250 to 320 minutes; this decreases to 75 to 90 minutes with high-flow oxygen (>15 L/minute) provided via a nonrebreathing mask. […] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy […] In patients with symptoms consistent with severe CO toxicity, we suggest treatment with HBO. We use HBO in the following settings: COHb level >25 percent, COHb level >15 percent in a pregnant patient, loss of consciousness, severe metabolic acidosis (pH <7.25), evidence of end-organ ischemia (eg, ECG changes, elevated cardiac biomarkers, respiratory failure, focal neurologic deficit, or altered mental status). HBO provides the greatest benefit if treatment begins as early as possible, ideally within six hours, to increase elimination of the carboxyhemoglobinemia and improve tissue oxygenation. [...] The key interventions in the management of the CO-poisoned patient are prompt removal from the source of CO and provision of high-flow oxygen.

• #9 How Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Is Treated

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/carbon-monoxide-poisoning-treatment-4161055

  Oxygen therapy is the main treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. That’s because when you breathe carbon monoxide, it binds with and blocks hemoglobin, a protein in your blood that carries oxygen throughout your body. This starves your body of oxygen. […] Treating carbon monoxide poisoning requires, at a minimum, breathing 100% oxygen concentration for several hours to rid the bloodstream of carbon monoxide. […] The basic treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning is to administer high-flow oxygen using a non-rebreather mask. This is a face mask with a plastic bag hanging off it connected to a supply of high-concentration oxygen. […] You’ll wear the mask as long as it takes to replace the carbon monoxide in your blood with oxygen. Oxygen therapy allows your body to get rid of carbon monoxide faster than just breathing the air around you.

• #10 Treating carbon monoxide poisoning correctly

  https://www.weinmann-emergency.com/topics/emergency-cases/carbon-monoxide-poisoning

  When treating serious carbon monoxide poisoning, the priority is rapid reoxygenation of the patient using highly concentrated oxygen to dissociate the CO-hemoglobin complex and restore the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen. […] In acute phases, invasive ventilation is required so as to maximize oxygenation and accelerate CO elimination. The duration of ventilation depends on the individual kinetics of toxicity and can take anything from several hours to several days. […] In some cases, non-invasive ventilation may actually be more efficient than pure oxygen therapy. A study by Caglar B. et al in 2019 demonstrated that Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy can eliminate carbon monoxide more quickly than pure inhalation of oxygen in cases of acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

• #11 Carbon Monoxide Toxicity: Treatment : Emergency Care BC

  https://emergencycarebc.ca/clinical_resource/clinical-summary/carbon-monoxide-toxicity-treatment/

  Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas formed from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. […] 100% FiO2 should be delivered regardless of SpO2, as it reduces the t1/2 of CO in the blood from 5 hours on room air, to 1 hour on 100% FiO2, and alleviates tissue hypoxia. This can be delivered via high flow nasal cannula, nonrebreather mask, or CPAP or BiPAP with a good seal. […] Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: HBOT further promotes carbon monoxide elimination, increases ATP production and reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, which may counter some of CO’s end-organ effects. Its role is to reduce long-term neuropsychiatric and cognitive sequelae. […] For all symptomatic CO toxicity or those with documented high COHb levels, high flow normobaric O2 should be continued for 6-8 hours, or until the COHb level is within a normal range, i.e. 3% or less and the patient is completely symptom free.

• #12 Carbon monoxide toxicity – WikEM

  https://wikem.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_toxicity

  If smoke inhalation, good pulmonary toilet is very important. […] NEVER use steroids in smoke inhalation injury; intubate early if concern for obstructing edema. […] O2 100% by NRB or ETT. […] Provide O2 until COhemoglobin value 10%. […] Early PEEP prevents progressive atelectasis and improves O2 diffusion. […] In general, COhemoglobin levels fall rapidly to 10% within 30 min of 100% O2. […] Maintain 100% O2 for additional 2-3 hrs after 10%, since anaerobic COmetabolism is occurring due to cytochrome oxidase poisoning. […] Decision to initiate HBO should be made in consultation with a hyperbaric specialist. […] There is controversy regarding benefit. […] Three HBO treatments within 24hrs shown to reduce risk of cognitive sequelae 6 weeks and 12 months after CO poisoning. […] However, another study showed no benefit and suggested worse outcomes in HBO therapy.

• #13 Hyperbaric oxygen for carbon monoxide poisoning • LITFL • CCC Toxicology

  https://litfl.com/hyperbaric-oxygen-for-carbon-monoxide-poisoning/

  The indications for, and effectiveness of, hyperbaric oxygen for carbon monoxide poisoning are controversial. […] RCTs are conflicting and hyperbaric oxygen therapy cannot be routinely recommended, but an undefined subgroup of patients who may benefit from treatment cannot be ruled out. […] Severe CO poisoning patients are those generally considered most likely to benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but this needs to be balanced by the hazards and logistical difficulties of transferring critically ill patients to a hyperbaric chamber. […] Patients at high risk of persistent neurological sequelae are those for whom hyperbaric oxygen may be considered: significant loss of consciousness or coma, persistent neurological dysfunction (e.g. confusion), abnormal cerebellar examination, metabolic acidosis, myocardial ischaemia, age 55 years, pregnancy.

• #14 Carbon monoxide poisoning – Diagnosis and treatment – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/carbon-monoxide/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20370646

  Treatment is likely to start right away for anyone brought to an emergency room with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. […] At the hospital, treatment may involve: […] Breathing pure oxygen. In the emergency room, standard treatment involves breathing pure oxygen through a mask placed over the nose and mouth. This helps oxygen reach organs and tissues. People who can’t breathe on their own might be put on a machine that breathes for them, called a ventilator. […] Getting treatment in an oxygen chamber. This is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It involves breathing pure oxygen in a chamber for a set amount of time. The air pressure inside the chamber is 2 to 3 times higher than the pressure outside. This helps replace carbon monoxide with oxygen in the blood. […] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy might be used for severe carbon monoxide poisoning. It helps protect heart and brain tissue from carbon monoxide damage. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy also might be used for pregnant people to protect unborn babies from damage from carbon monoxide poisoning.

• #15 Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Pathogenesis, Management, and Future Directions of Therapy

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5363978/

  Current therapy for CO poisoning is 100% normobaric oxygen (NBO2) or HBO2 (2.53 atmospheres). NBO2 and HBO2 remove CO at a faster rate from the blood by increasing the partial pressure of oxygen, which increases the dissociation rate of CO from Hb. NBO2 reduces the elimination half-life of CO from 320 minutes in room air to 74 minutes. HBO2 can reduce the half-life of COHb to 20 minutes; however, in actual clinical practice, the half-life may be higher, up to 42 minutes. HBO2 has demonstrated a reversal effect on inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by CO poisoning. […] Although the American College of Emergency Physicians acknowledges HBO2 as a therapeutic option for CO poisoning, it does not mandate HBO2 use. Recent practice recommendations by experts in the hyperbaric medicine field, however, do recommend HBO2 use for CO poisoning. HBO2 should be considered for all cases of serious acute CO poisoning, including loss of consciousness, ischemic cardiac changes, neurological deficits, significant metabolic acidosis, or COHb greater than 25%. Despite clear effectiveness of HBO2, there still does exist a substantial portion of survivors with permanent neurocognitive and affective sequelae, illustrating the need for research on new therapies.

• #16 Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Injuries; Poisoning – Merck Manual Professional Edition

  https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/injuries-poisoning/poisoning/carbon-monoxide-poisoning

  Treatment is with supplemental oxygen. […] Patients should be removed from the source of carbon monoxide (CO) and stabilized as necessary. They are given 100% oxygen (by nonrebreather mask) and treated supportively. […] Although its use is becoming increasingly controversial, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (in a chamber at 2 to 3 atmospheres of 100% oxygen) typically should be considered for patients who have any of the following: life-threatening cardiopulmonary complications, ongoing chest pain, altered consciousness, loss of consciousness (no matter how brief), a carboxyhemoglobin level 25%. […] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy should also be considered for pregnant patients, possibly at lower serum CO levels than in nonpregnant patients. […] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may decrease the incidence of delayed neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, this therapy may cause barotrauma and, because therapy is not available at most hospitals, may require transfer of patients, who may not be stable; also a chamber may not be available locally. […] In cases where hyperbaric oxygen therapy is considered, consultation with a poison control center or hyperbaric expert is strongly recommended.

  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can help treat a variety of illnesses. […] It’s also used for carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness. When used for either of these, the treatment can save a persons life. […] CO poisoning is a medical emergency. […] The emergency medical team will likely use a face mask to give pure oxygen. This is the most common treatment for CO poisoning. The face mask is used for about 4 hours. If the person has trouble breathing on their own, they may be put on a machine that helps them breathe. […] But studies have shown that in some cases, HBOT can lower the risk for brain injury and nerve damage. HBOT is often advised for pregnant people with high levels of carbon monoxide. […] Many hospitals do not have a hyperbaric chamber. The person may be sent by ambulance or helicopter to a hospital that has one. HBOT is more expensive than a face mask to deliver oxygen.

  https://mdsearchlight.com/wilderness-and-environmental/hyperbaric-treatment-of-carbon-monoxide-toxicity/

  HBO2 works by not only quickly displacing the CO from the blood’s oxygen-carrying cells but also increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to tissues. It also minimizes the collection of specific cells on the damaged lining of blood vessels in the brain, reducing swelling and decrease cell damage. The extra oxygen helps to decrease the CO bound in the cells and restore cell functioning, especially important for neurons. […] The number of HBO2 treatments needed and their duration can vary. The common aim is to provide 100% oxygen under high pressure (two to three atmospheres) for about 60 to 90 minutes. This clears the carbon monoxide faster and helps with the brain’s recovery. For severe cases of CO poisoning, it’s typically recommended to have two to three treatments per day. Moderately severe cases may only need one treatment. HBO2 is most beneficial when applied within the first six hours of being exposed to CO.

  Current studies are still inconclusive with regard to the treatment of DNS, since most of the research is limited to case studies or local clinical practice in a certain area. […] Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to investigate the role of HBOT in DNS treatment. […] Our study demonstrated that an improvement in the neuropsychiatric sequelae was more commonly observed in those patients who received HBOT after DNS development and in those who received more than three sessions of HBOT at the acute poisoning stage. […] Moreover, the initiation of HBOT within as little as three days in DNS patients post-diagnosis produced significant improvement in DNS symptoms, and the treatment effects were sustained for 1 year after the diagnosis of DNS. […] The mechanism of recovery through HBOT after the development of DNS may be related to the transfer of functional mitochondria to the injury site, re-myelination of damaged neurons, angiogenesis and neurogenesis, production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and balancing inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines to protect the integrity of the bloodbrain barrier. […] In this study, we found HBOT to be an effective treatment after the development of DNS (HBOT vs non-HBOT, 61.9% vs 38.1%; P=0.006). […] Early HBOT intervention within 3 days after the development of DNS seems beneficial to the patients outcome.

  Treatment of poisoning generally consists of giving 100% oxygen along with supportive care. […] This procedure is often carried out until symptoms are absent and the HbCO level is less than 3%/10%. […] Hyperbaric oxygen is also used in the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning, as it may hasten dissociation of CO from carboxyhemoglobin and cytochrome oxidase to a greater extent than normal oxygen. […] Hyperbaric oxygen at three times atmospheric pressure reduces the half life of carbon monoxide to 23 minutes, compared to 80 minutes for oxygen at regular atmospheric pressure. […] Further treatment for other complications such as seizure, hypotension, cardiac abnormalities, pulmonary edema, and acidosis may be required. […] Treatment with sodium bicarbonate is controversial as acidosis may increase tissue oxygen availability. […] Extensive follow up and supportive treatment is often required for delayed neurological damage.

  Treatment for patients exposed to CO is often geared towards flooding the body with oxygen. This includes, for example, breathing 100% oxygen or undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, this treatment is primarily beneficial right after gas exposure. Patients can still develop long-term symptoms even with this treatment, but it does lower the risk. […] If you believe that you’re experiencing persistent symptoms due to CO poisoning, we offer a combination of aerobic exercise and a variety of therapies such as cognitive therapy, vestibular and vision therapy, and sensorimotor therapy as an effective treatment option. […] Treatment involves a three-step cycle that is repeated multiple times a day: Prepare, Activate, and Recover. The main goal is to restore neurovascular coupling, improve ANS function, and reduce the incidence and severity of symptoms after carbon monoxide exposure.

  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today allowed marketing of a new device, ClearMate, intended to be used in an emergency room setting to help treat patients suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. The standard form of treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning is to have the patient breathe 100 percent oxygen through a mask. […] ClearMate, a device consisting of a gas mixer, valves, meters, breathing circuits, an oxygen reservoir, a mask and hoses, works by speeding up the elimination of carbon monoxide from the body. It delivers both 100 percent oxygen to the patient, as well as a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide, causing the patient to breathe faster. The increased breathing accelerates the rate at which the carbon monoxide leaves the patient’s body, allowing a normal amount of oxygen to attach to hemoglobin and be carried where it is needed throughout the body. […] The studies demonstrated the device was effective at eliminating carbon monoxide. The combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the ClearMate resulted in a faster elimination of carbon monoxide than treatment with 100 percent oxygen alone but was not faster than hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

  UCSC researcher Tim Johnstone has designed small molecules that can bind CO, sequester CO that is already bonded to hemoglobin, and rescue red blood cells exposed to CO, all promising signs for a future antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning. […] While CO detectors and making sure your fireplace and heaters work correctly can help prevent exposure, treatment options are limited for those suffering from CO poisoning. […] If you are exposed to carbon monoxide, the primary treatment right now is fresh air, said Johnstone. It is a question of time. In fresh air, you need four to six hours for the level of CO in your blood to be cut in half. With 100% oxygen or hyperbaric oxygen, the half-life shortens further. Even then, the high blood levels of CO can persist long enough to lead to long-term deficits and neurological problems.

  To mitigate this, Johnstone has designed small molecules that possess many of the features of the active site of hemoglobin but can bind CO much more tightly than the protein. In a recent paper published in Chemical Communications, his group described the ability of one such molecule to bind CO, sequester CO that is already bonded to hemoglobin, and rescue red blood cells exposed to CO, all promising signs for a future antidote. He says these are early results, but the hope is to create a point-of-care treatment that can be administered quickly.

  Several nonpharmacological treatments for CO poisoning have been tested, using the removal of CO from the blood stream through CO dissociation from Hb. Although none has demonstrated improved neurocognitive outcomes, many show promising early results and should be further studied. […] A new class of modified globin proteins is currently in development, and has shown potential for the treatment of CO poisoning. These agents have shown both in vitro and in vivo to have great affinity for CO, acting as scavengers for CO, increasing the elimination rate of CO from red blood cell Hb and tissues. By binding CO directly from heme-containing proteins, such as COX, there could also be greater effects on the non-Hb-CO manifestations of CO poisoning, such as mitochondrial poisoning, ischemia-reperfusion, and inflammation, that could ultimately improve neurocognitive or cardiovascular outcomes. Although still being tested in preclinical animal models, this emerging new concept of an antidotal therapy has potential.
