BMI (body mass index): m/cm2; PEF (peak expiratory flow): L/min; Sat[O.sub.2] (peripheral oxygen saturation): %; heart rate: bpm; COex (exhaled CO): ppm; COHb (
carboxyhemoglobin): %.
The aim of our study was to investigate the relation of blood
carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level with the findings and clinical properties at presentation and to elucidate the neurological and cardiological findings which are indicators of tissue hypoxia.
Carboxyhemoglobin levels were increased in the two patients who were heavy smokers.
Carboxyhemoglobin levels in children with nonspecific flu-like symptoms.
Israilova in the certificate of authorship No 4807122/14 "Fetal hypoxia model" by the content of
carboxyhemoglobin and acid-base balance profile.
In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow[R] SET Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously required invasive procedures, including total hemoglobin (SpHb[R]), oxygen content (SpOC),
carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO[R]), methemoglobin (SpMet[R]), and Pleth Variability Index (PVI[R]), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI).
Cooximetry uses four wavelengths of light to measure the absorptive characteristics of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, and
carboxyhemoglobin species.
Animal studies also revealed that tea filters could significantly reduce the acute toxicity, mutagenicity, lung damage and
carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in the blood caused by cigarette smoking.
In that instance, it was uptodate.com that I relied upon to secure our hyperbaric team and dissociate the patient's
carboxyhemoglobin using our diving chamber.
The fingertip device uses light that is shined through the patient's nail bed to measure
carboxyhemoglobin (blood poisoned by carbon monoxide) and methemoglobin (blood altered by other substances such as nitrogen dioxide).
The orders call for immediate administration of 100% high-flow oxygen (to be continued for at least 4 hours in patients with exposure) and for the use of venous blood gas sampling to determine
carboxyhemoglobin values, even in asymptomatic patients.
In winter, consider carbon monoxide poisoning and test for
carboxyhemoglobin. Carbon monoxide poisoning from poorly maintained heaters will often present as daily, diffuse, nocturnal headaches that clear up in the morning when patients get out into the fresh air.
