The control group received hyperbaric oxygen, mannitol, dexamethasone, citicoline injection, gangliosides, dracone; observation group were large strain Rhodiola injection treatment group based on the once daily for two weeks of continuous treatment. The head CT, head MRI results were analyzed retrospectively.</p> <p><em><strong>Results:</strong></em> (1) hsCRP and ET-1 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and VEGF was significantly higher than that in the control group (P&lt;0.01). No, NOS, and iNOS were significantly lower than those of the control group (P&lt;0.01); (2) CT images of 16 cases showed bilateral symmetrical fusion lesions with blurred edges, low density, and oval center around the ventricle; (3) MRI showed that the lesion was located in the cerebral cortex, white matter lateral ventricle and/or basal ganglia in 12 cases.</p> <p><em><strong>Conclusion:</strong></em> Rhodiola can reduce myocardial vascular endothelial cell injury, improve cardiac function, and protect the damaged myocardium. Meanwhile, after acute CO poisoning delayed encephalopathy early for CT and MRI examination facilitate analysis and prognosis of the disease.</p> <p><strong>doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.6-WIT.4830</strong></p> <p><em><strong>How to cite this:</strong></em><br>Gao Y, Cui H, Ren W, Han B.
