Measurement of air can lead to answers and solutions
Testing a patient’s
chronic atmospheres for CO2 and CO may reveal oxygen depletion sources
previously unknown and which may be contributing to the symptom array. Each
home health technician is encouraged to wear a personal CO monitor and to also
measure CO2 ambient air levels while visiting patients in their residences.
This is education you must learn on the job.
The
lungs expand and contract as we breathe in and out, whereas our ribs are fairly
immobile. The pleura or lining around the outside of the lungs and
inside of the ribs has some lubricating fluid. It allows the lungs and ribs to
slide over each other comfortably. The heart pumps, the lungs expand and
contract, air is inhaled and exhaled.
When
CO is inhaled and the oxygen displacement is occurring, the symptoms of
tiredness and weakness may begin. When levels of carbon dioxide increase
to over 3 to 10 times outside PPM levels the symptoms of tiredness and weakness
may begin as well. Is this classroom too stuffy? Are you getting tired?” What
are the CO2 levels in this room? What are the outside “fresh air” levels?
Measurement is
education. Get to know how much carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide you live
with daily. It is quite educational. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
Who is responsible for the air you breathe? Take control inside your homes.
- 70 PPM to 149 PPM – resist one hour, must alarm before 4 hours
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions. Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be before 70 PPM. It is for pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of vulnerable health. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
