Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) Hemoglobin that is bound to carbon monoxide instead of oxygen. Mentioned in: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning carboxyhemoglobin hemoglobin combined with carbon monoxide, which occupies the sites on the hemoglobin molecule that normally bind with oxygen and which is not readily displaced from the molecule; exposure to carbon monoxide thus results in cellular anoxia.
