Tobacco influence on carboxyhemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin dissociation and erythrocyte filtration.
نویسنده
چکیده
The substances inhaled from tobacco smoke not only act on the vessel wall but also influence eryth rocyte behaviour. The effect of chronic tobacco con sumption on red cell filtration, leading to a rise of the filtration time, is widely known.1-3 This work was meant to study the influence of acute tobacco intoxication on blood filtration and on oxygen transport by hemoglobin as assessed by the percentage of carboxyhemoglobin present.

A new chinese restaurant syndrome: the 'chinese fondue' carbon monoxide mass intoxication
In this paper, we report a rare and original case of carbon monoxide (CO) mass intoxication. CO is produced in large amounts in industry as well as by gasoline engines, home appliances and the incomplete combustion of wood, natural gas, and tobacco products. It is rapidly absorbed through the lungs and binds to hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), with an affinity 210 times that of oxy...
متن کاملEffects of acetylcholine and spermineNONOate on erythrocyte hemorheologic and oxygen carrying properties.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To determine the effects of acetylcholine and spermineNONOate--a NO donor--on RBC membrane and oxygen carrying properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS Aliquots of venous blood from eleven healthy subjects were incubated with ACh 10(-3) M, ACh 10(-5) M, spermineNONOate 10(-5) M and spermineNONOate 10(-4) M. The following parameters were determined: erythrocyte aggregation and def...
متن کاملErythrocyte filtrability and oxyhemoglobin dissociation in hypertensive patients.
Twenty one patients with essential hypertension were studied. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) of hemoglobin oxygen affinity and a marked reduction (p < 0.001) of erythrocyte filtrability was detected. The results suggest an abnormality of the erythrocyte deformability in the microcirculation of the hypertensive patients, which implies a shift to the right of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation cur...
متن کاملDissociation of CO from carboxyhemoglobin.
The reaction between carboxyhemoglobin and reduced microperoxidase (MP): Hb4(CO)4 + 4MP=Hb4 + 4MPCO, recently reported by us, has been further studied. By generating species Hb4(CO), Hb4(CO)2, and Hb(CO)3 in the stopped flow cuvette by the reaction of dithionite with the species of the general formula Hb4(O2)x(CO)y(x + y=4) in the presence of microperoxidase it has been possible to determine th...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry in Acute Respiratory Failure: What Should Be Expected?-Reply.
To the Editor: In the April issue of RESPIRATORY CARE, Amalakanti and Pentakota1 present a comparison of arterial oxygen saturation values between a 2-wavelength pulse oximeter and blood gas multi-wavelength hemoximetry in COPD subjects with acute respiratory failure. The authors conclude that the 2-wavelength pulse oximeter significantly overestimates arterial oxygen saturation and that COPD a...
