Carbon monoxide poisoning
The woman and her family have symptoms consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning, as their symptoms began when it started getting cold and they likely had increased use of gas appliances. A COHb level would be the most appropriate test to confirm this suspicion.
The man was exposed to paint remover fumes in an enclosed space and is presenting with symptoms of CO poisoning. A COHb level would be helpful in this case to diagnose CO poisoning and guide management. Treatment for exposures from paint removers may need to continue longer than other sources due to longer half-life of carboxyhemoglobin formation. Severe metabolic acidosis is a potential complication of CO poisoning.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled from incomplete combustion sources. It binds to hemoglobin in the blood over 200 times more than oxygen, reducing oxygen delivery to tissues. Primary assessment involves airway and breathing evaluation along with 100% oxygen therapy to accelerate carbon monoxide elimination from the blood. Secondary assessment includes monitoring for symptoms of hypoxia, vital signs, and carboxyhemoglobin blood levels to determine severity and guide hyperbaric oxygen treatment if needed.
Carbon monoxide poisoning by dr Yasser Diab
This document describes two cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. In the first case, a 67-year-old man was admitted to the hospital multiple times with symptoms before being diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty furnace. His wife also had carbon monoxide poisoning. In the second case, a 69-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with confusion and other symptoms, and his sister and daughter-in-law later came to the emergency room with carbon monoxide poisoning from his faulty water heater. The document then provides details on carbon monoxide, sources, effects on the body, signs and symptoms, treatment, and differential diagnosis.
Carbon monoxide
This document discusses carbon monoxide poisoning, including its structure, pathophysiology, effects on the human body, sources, prevention, and treatment strategies. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that binds to hemoglobin over 200 times more than oxygen, preventing oxygen from being transported throughout the body and causing hypoxia. Symptoms range from headaches and dizziness at low levels to seizures, loss of consciousness, and death at high levels. Common sources include vehicles, heaters, and cooking equipment. Treatment focuses on high-flow oxygen therapy and hyperbaric oxygen chambers.
Carbonmonoxide poisioning and Its management
Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur from sources like space heaters, wood-burning stoves, and generators without adequate ventilation. CO binds to hemoglobin over 200 times more than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin which impairs oxygen delivery. Clinical features include headache, confusion, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. Diagnosis is made through elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels and treatment involves high-flow supplemental oxygen and possibly hyperbaric oxygen therapy for more severe cases involving symptoms like syncope, seizures, or focal neurologic deficits.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning results in over 50,000 emergency department visits per year in the US. While normobaric oxygen is the standard treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may provide benefits for certain high-risk patients. One randomized trial found hyperbaric oxygen reduced cognitive sequelae rates at both 6 weeks and 12 months post-poisoning compared to normobaric oxygen alone in patients treated within 24 hours. Guidelines recommend considering hyperbaric oxygen for patients with serious poisoning symptoms or those over 36, exposed over 24 hours, or with CO-Hb over 25%. Patients should be informed of potential for long-term effects even after treatment.
Toxicity of Asphyxians
This document discusses inhalation poisoning from asphyxiants. It classifies asphyxiants as simple asphyxiants like carbon dioxide and nitrogen that displace oxygen, or chemical asphyxiants like carbon monoxide and cyanide that interfere with cellular oxygen transport or utilization. Carbon dioxide causes respiratory distress and symptoms like headaches and vomiting above certain concentrations. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin over 200 times more than oxygen, impairing oxygen delivery. Cyanide poisoning is rapidly lethal by inhibiting mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase. Treatments include removal from exposure, oxygen therapy, and possibly hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Carbon monoxide poisoning, its causes and symptoms in a dead body
Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur endogenously from biochemical reactions or exogenously from incomplete combustion of fuels. CO binds strongly to hemoglobin, preventing oxygen transport. Symptoms include headache, weakness and confusion. At autopsy, cherry-red lividity may be seen due to carboxyhemoglobin formation. Blood analysis uses spectroscopic, chemical and instrumental methods to detect elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels above 50-60%, which can be lethal. Precise quantification is important for forensic investigations into causes of death.
