carbon monoxide (co) poisoning is still a health problem all over the world. informing users about symptoms and suggesting annual inspection of co producing devices will result in co poisoning reduction. the goal of this study was to evaluate awareness about co poisoning symptoms and its prevention ways in iranian population. in this study, a total of 700 patients' family members attended imam ...

Background: Poisoning with carbon monoxide occurs occasionally worldwide, and the gold diagnostic standard is to measure carboxyhemoglobin level in the blood. This study investigated the correlation between carboxyhemoglobin and the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in 50 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: We recruited 50 volunteer patients who had been admitted to the Emergency S...

OBJECTIVES To determine the normal range for carbon monoxide concentrations in the exhaled breath of subjects in the emergency department and to develop a protocol for the use of a breath analyser to detect abnormal carbon monoxide exposure. METHODS A hand held breath analyser was used to measure end expiratory carbon monoxide concentrations in 382 consenting subjects. Questionnaire data were...

background: carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and poisonous gas. since there is currently no information on the prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning in mazandaran, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of carbon monoxide poisoning and compare its prevalence with other poisonings recorded in mazandaran department of forensic medicine, from 2009 to 2011.methods: this is a desc...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the mechanism(s) involved in carbon monoxide-releasing molecule-2, carbon monoxide-releasing molecule-2-induced cardioprotection. We used the transition metal carbonyl compound carbon monoxide-releasing molecule-2 that can act as carbon monoxide donor in cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury model using isolated rat heart preparation. Langendorff...

carbon monoxide (co) poisoning, though with different sources, is one of the most deadly emergencies in all countries. co can threaten men's life by several paths especially cardiac complications, which can mimic other cardiac problems such as myocardial infarction. the objective of this study was to determine ecg findings and serum troponin i levels in co poisoned patients. in this analytical ...

background: in 1999, duzce suffered two consecutive devastating earthquakes above magnitude 7 in august and november. in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the indoor air quality of coffeehouses by determining carbon monoxide (co) levels and their contributing factors in coffeehouses built before and after the earthquake. methods: we conducted our study in 76 turkish coffeehouses in duzce ...

carbon monoxide (co) poisoning is one of the most common causes of death in iran. the present study investigated the indoor and outdoor co concentrations at hospitals under the supervision of mazandaran university of medical sciences in sari, iran.indoor and outdoor measured co were conducted over a period of one month during the 2012 winter season in 4 hospital kitchens using a direct measurem...

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced as a by-product of incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide poisoning accounts for approximately 3500 deaths in the United States annually. Carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes from motor vehicles accounts for most deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning; however, poorly functioning heating systems, inhaled smoke, and propane-operated forklifts al...

Carbon monoxide can produce several nonspecific symptoms and can mimic several diseases. Most of the signs and symptoms are due to hypoxia, which affects mainly the brain. The most significant neurologic and psychiatric manifestations of carbon monoxide poisoning are seen as subacute or late sequelae, often following a period of complete recovery from an acute episode. There is a possible inter...
