Carbon Monoxide Intoxication – Review
CO, binds to the iron atoms in hemoglobin, with an affinity 200-250 times that of oxygen, and impairs oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Hence, CO toxicity is a situation characterized by impairment of oxygen transportation and consumption. It has been reported that 30% of such cases are not diagnosed since the signs and symptoms in CO intoxication. Definitive diagnosis of CO intoxication i...

متن کاملCarbon monoxide fractions in cigarette and hookah (hubble bubble) smoke.
We studied the carbon monoxide (CO) fractions in hookah and cigarette smoke, using a carbon monoxide micro smokerlyzer (model EC50, BEDFONT, U.K.). Mean carbon monoxide fractions (% by volume) of hookah smoke, using domestic charcoal were 0.38 +/- 0.07 (large hookah; unfiltered); 1.40 +/- 0.43 (small hookah; unfiltered); 0.34 +/- 0.06 (large hookah; filtered); 1.36 +/- 0.35 (small hookah; filte...

متن کاملCarbon monoxide intoxication: an updated review.
Carbon monoxide (CO), a highly toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, is a relatively common cause of human injury. Human toxicity is often overlooked because CO is tasteless and odorless and its clinical symptoms and signs are non specific. The brain and the heart may be severely affected after CO exposure with carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels exceeding 20%. Damage occurs ...
