The impact of low-level carbon monoxide exposure on ventricular arrhythmia frequency in patients with ischemic heart disease has not been thoroughly studied. The issue is of concern because of the potential proarrhythmic effect of carbon monoxide in patients with ischemic heart disease. We studied 30 subjects with well-documented coronary artery disease who had an average of at least 30 ventric...

More than a million workers are at risk for methylene chloride exposure. Aerosol sprays and paint stripping may also cause significant nonoccupational exposures. After methylene chloride inhalation, significant amounts of carbon monoxide are formed in vivo as a metabolic by-product. Poisoning predominantly affects the central nervous system and results from both carboxyhemoglobin formation and ...

Aim: Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the significant causes intoxication and presentation to pediatric emergency departments, especially in winter. The primary aim this study was evaluate demographic characteristics, clinical laboratory findings patients who presented department with carbon poisoning, secondary examine values impaired consciousness. Material Methods: characteristics 162 due...

Introduction
 This case report aimed to two patients admitted the emergency department with a preliminary diagnosis of carbon monoxide intoxication and was diagnosed COVID-19 during their follow-up.
 Case 1
 A 73-year-old female patient presented weakness shortness breath complaints department. Carboxyhemoglobin (COhgb) reached 36.2 %. Atypical pneumonic infiltration peripheral c...

The carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) levels of two groups of workers in the City of London were determined. The mean COHb in smokers (5-8%) was significantly greater than that of the non-smoking group (1-3%). In general, cigarette consumption could be directly related to the COHb level but there was considerable individual variation. The mean COHb level of manual workers was significantly lower than t...

INTRODUCTION The reference values (RV) of biological indicators are used in the interpretation of the results of such indicators in individuals occupationally exposed to chemical agents. The Brazilian Group for the Establishment of Reference Values has worked on these definitions for the purpose of establishing RVs for several bioindicators in various regions of the country. In the present stud...
