Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless, colorless, nonirritating gas formed by hydrocarbon combustion. The atmospheric concentration of CO is generally below 0.001 percent, but it may be higher in urban areas or enclosed environments. CO binds to hemoglobin with much greater affinity than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and ...
Metabolic changes during carbon monoxide poisoning: An experimental
The experiments were performed at the Biomedical Research Laboratory at Aalborg University Hospital under the supervision of a veterinarian. At the end of the study, the pigs were sacrificed by an overdose of Pentobarbital. ... Carbon monoxide poisoning: a new incidence for an old disease. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2007;34(3):163‐168.

Carbon Monoxide Toxicity
Carbon monoxide poisoning is the major contributing cause of death in fire victims. Approximately 30% to 40% of carbon monoxide poisoning victims die before reaching the hospital. Of those hospitalized, approximately 2% die, 10% recover partially, and 23% to 47% suffer delayed neurologic sequelae.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Pathogenesis, Management, and Future
The best available estimates of the yearly incidence of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in the United States, based on emergency department visits, are 50,000 (16.0 cases per 100,000 population). Recent studies show declining numbers of CO death, most recently found to be 1,319 in 2014, from estimates of 2,700 in the mid-2000s (1 - 4).
Risks of Developing Diabetes and Hyperglycemic Crisis Following Carbon
Introduction. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon compounds, including fire, engine exhaust, faulty furnaces, and charcoal-burning. 1 CO poisoning is an important public health issue worldwide. In the United States, CO poisoning contributes to about 15,000 intentional poisoning and 50,000 emergency department visits ...
How to Test for Carbon Monoxide and Diagnose CO Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is measured by the amount of carboxyhemoglobin (COHgb) in the blood. This compound is formed when carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. An elevated COHgb level of 2% for non-smokers and greater than 9% for smokers strongly supports a diagnosis of CO poisoning.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Basics
The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. CO symptoms are often described as "flu-like.". If you breathe in a lot of CO, it can make you pass out or kill you. People who are sleeping or drunk can die from CO poisoning before they have symptoms.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Shortness of breath. Confusion. Blurred vision. Drowsiness. Loss of muscle control. Loss of consciousness. Symptoms related to the nervous system and brain can come on after recovery from carbon monoxide poisoning. The risk of these is higher in people who lost consciousness from the carbon monoxide and older people.
Long-Term Prognosis of Patients with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: A
Carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) is common in the United States; it accounts for an estimated 50,000 emergency department visits annually . COP is the second leading cause of unintentional poisoning deaths and, together with intentional exposures, annually contributes to approximately 2700 fatalities [2] , [3] .
