Measurement of Carbon Monoxide by Oxygen Meter

Ignition Kinetics of Carbon Monoxide - Oxygen Reaction

The measurement of endogenous carbon monoxide production.

Recent findings that heme oxygenase-1 can be induced by oxidative stress and inflammation in many different cellular systems, and that carbon monoxide (CO) produced as a by-product of this enzyme is a signaling molecule, have generated a major research area with hundreds of studies published over the last few years. The measurement of expired CO concentration has been used in humans as a biomar...

Hyperbaric oxygen in carbon monoxide poisoning.

Hyperbaric oxygen for acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

BACKGROUND Patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning commonly have cognitive sequelae. We conducted a double-blind, randomized trial to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric-oxygen treatment on such cognitive sequelae. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with symptomatic acute carbon monoxide poisoning in equal proportions to three chamber sessions within a 24-hour period, consisting of eit...

Victim 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...
