Carbon monoxide poisoning in childhood.

Every winter the prolonged use of poorly maintained gas stoves in badly ventilated houses gives rise to several cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. The formation of this gas is a severe hazard because of its affinity for haemoglobin, which is about 300 times more than that for oxygen.' Moreover, carbon monoxide shifts to the left the dissociation curve of any oxyhaemoglobin that remains -and he...
