End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide as a Measure of Carboxyhemoglobin in Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

October 28, 2014 updated by: Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute

End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide as a Measure of Carboxyhemoglobin in Carbon Monoxide

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between EtCO2 and carboxyhemoglobin levels in carbon monoxide exposure. Our hypothesis is that a liner relationship exists between EtCO2 and carboxyhemoglobin in carbon monoxide poisoning.
