False positive rate of carbon monoxide saturation by pulse oximetry of emergency department patients.
BACKGROUND Symptoms of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are non-specific. Diagnosis requires suspicion of exposure, confirmed by measuring ambient CO levels or carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). An FDA-approved pulse oximeter (Rad-57) can measure CO saturation (S(pCO)). The device accuracy has implications for clinical decision-making. METHODS From April 1 to August 15, 2008, study personnel measured S(...
متن کاملEmergency department management of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning: role of pulse CO-oximetry.
BACKGROUND The RAD-57 pulse CO-oximeter is a lightweight device allowing noninvasive measurement of blood carboxyhemoglobin (S(pCO)). We assessed the diagnostic value of pulse CO-oximetry, comparing S(pCO) values from the RAD-57 to standard laboratory blood carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) measurement in emergency department patients with suspected carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. METHODS This was a p...
متن کاملVictim of carbon monoxide poisoning identified by carbon monoxide oximetry.
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as a leading cause of unintentional poisoning death in many countries. Diagnosis is usually made by measuring carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), but due to the non-specific symptoms, the crucial step is considering CO poisoning. A possible solution might be screening emergency department (ED) patients. A cutaneous sensor that measures oxygen and CO saturation sim...

متن کاملPulse oximetry in the accident and emergency department.
The early detection and treatment of hypoxia is important to reduce patient morbidity in the accident and emergency department. At present, the commonly used methods all have practical difficulties in the urgent situations that prevail in the department. Pulse oximetry has recently become a method of choice in many anaesthetic and intensive care units for the continuous monitoring of oxygenatio...
