| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to examine the usefulness of the carboxyhemoglobin level measured at the site of carbon monoxide poisoning using a pulse carbon monoxide oximeter. The subjects included patients treated for acute carbon monoxide poisoning and in whom a medical emergency team was able to measure the carboxyhemoglobin level at the site of poisoning. A total of 10 patients, with a mean age of 49.4 years, met the above criteria. The carboxyhemoglobin levels at the site of poisoning were significantly and positively correlated with the exposure time (rs=0.710, p=0.033). In conclusion, the carboxyhemoglobin level at the site of poisoning is useful for gaining an understanding of the extent of carbon monoxide poisoning. On the other hand, only two cases in 10 cases occurred abnormal findings at head CT / MRI examination. Therefore, it was insufficient results in discussions of HBOT adaptation.
