Endogenous carbon monoxide production in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation‐related hemolysis: potential use of point‐of‐care CO‐oximetry carboxyhemoglobin to detect hemolysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-related hemolysis is a rare but devastating condition. Death is inevitable without early recognition and prompt management. Endogenous carbon monoxide production, as an epiphenomenon of hemolysis, potentially allows rapid detection of such condition by use of point-of-care CO-oximetry carboxyhemoglobin.

Successful Treatment of Severe Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Refractory Shock Using Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the most common cause of poisoning and poisoning-related death in the United States. It is a tasteless and odorless poisonous gas produced from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, such as those produced by cars and heating systems. CO rapidly binds to hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, leading to tissue hypoxia, multiple-organ failure, and cardiovascular collapse. ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Carboxyhemoglobin Levels and Relationship with Sepsis in a Retrospective Cohort of Preterm Neonates
Carboxyhemoglobin levels in blood reflect endogenous carbon monoxide production and are often measured during routine blood gas analysis. Endogenous carbon monoxide production has been reported to be increased during sepsis, but carboxyhemoglobin levels have not been thoroughly evaluated as a biomarker of sepsis. We sought to determine whether carboxyhemoglobin levels were elevated during sepsi...
متن کاملManagement of carbon monoxide poisoning using oxygen therapy.
The management of carbon monoxide poisoning requires an accurate assessment of the extent of blood oxygenation. Measuring the fractional oxyhaemoglobin content by using co-oximetry gives a true picture of the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood in the presence of carboxyhaemoglobin. The use of readings from pulse oximetry or a standard blood gas analyser is insufficient and can be misleading. We ...
متن کاملIntravascular and Extravascular Hemolysis Accompanying Extracorporeal Circulation
Eleven patients undergoing open heart surgery were studied by means of a technic previously developed by us to quantitate intravascular and extravascular hemolysis. Endogenous production of carbon monoxide, which correlates quantitatively with red blood cell and hemoglobin catabolism, was measured preoperatively, 5 hr postoperatively, and 24 hr postoperatively. Rates of plasma hemoglobin catabo...
متن کاملPostmortem CO - oximetry
The focus of this article is the application of CO-oximetry in the analysis of blood samples after death. This is largely confined to confirming or excluding carbon monoxide poisoning as a contributory or prime cause of death, by measurement of COHb. Issues addressed will include: the toxicity of carbon monoxide; the causes of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; and the particular difficulties su...
