Pulse oximeters are known to be inaccurate in the presence of elevated concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin. This paper attempts to alleviate some of the confusion that exists between fractional and functional saturation,... more
Mainstream smoke (MS) from experimental kretek cigarettes with three ingredient mixes at low (typical use level) and high (2.5 or 3 times that level) inclusion rates was compared to a control kretek cigarette of identical construction... more
The Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis affords significant protection against oxidative stress and cellular damage. We synthesized a series of cobalt-based hybrid molecules (HYCOs) that combine an Nrf2 inducer with a releaser of carbon... more
The guideline 'Treatment of acute carbon-monoxide poisoning' from doctors in clinics with a tank for hyperbaric ventilation Carbon-monoxide (CO) poisoning is a potentially life-threatening emergency. Its prognosis is determined by... more
... Sean Hays Exponent Boulder, Colorado E-mail: shays@exponent.com ... Discovery of lead poisoning through a family pet has been previously reported (Dowsett and Shannon 1994), and some have suggested that pets are good sentinels for... more
Hemolysis may contribute to hyperbilirubinemia in Gilbert's syndrome. The authors examined blood carboxyhemoglobin corrected for inspired CO (COHbc) to index heme catabolism and serum conjugated bilirubin fractions to reflect... more
Fifteen men were exposed to 6,683 ppm C18O for 3.09-6.65 min. Arterial and antecubital vein blood samples were drawn at 1-min intervals beginning at the start of C18O inhalation and ending 10 min later. Simultaneously, alveolar... more
To evaluate serial cyanide, methemoglobin, and carbon monoxide levels in smoke inhalation patients. Regional poison center and regional toxicology treatment center. Seven critically ill smoke inhalation patients referred to the regional... more
To determine whether endogenous carbon monoxide levels in exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients were higher compared to healthy individuals and to investigate alteration of carbon monoxide levels across the three... more
OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study examined the correlation between carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) levels and vital signs in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication. METHODS: Over a 10-year period, patients > 16 years of age who... more
