Özet
The diagnosis of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning consists of three elements: symptoms associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, exposure to CO, and an increase in COHb levels. The most common symptoms in people exposed to CO are non-specific complaints such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. The most common environments that produce CO are counted as stoves or ovens using wood or coal as fuel, heaters using propane fuel, and building or forest fires. The COHb level is performed most accurately by co-oximetry blood gas analysis devices with samples obtained from arterial or venous blood samples. There is no correlation between Dechb level and clinical status. In victims with normal COHb levels, the diagnosis should be managed according to the complaints of exposure to CO and admission. © 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
