Carboxyhemoglobin Toxicity

Carboxyhemoglobin Toxicity

Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless, colorless, and non-irritating gas formed with the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons (fossil fuels). It is the leading cause of lethal poisonings worldwide. Disabling the ability of oxygen to bind to hemoglobin causes multiple deleterious effects on cellular metabolism, oxygen utilization, the cardiovascular system, and neurocognitive processes. This activity reviews the diagnosis, evaluation, and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of carbon monoxide toxicity.
