It is of primary importance that the health symptoms and the effects of CO poisoning are clearly understood, recognized, tested for, and remediated. Carbon monoxide at a high concentration is a deadly poison and in lesser concentrations can cause or compound illness symptoms for all people, especially those who have vulnerable or pre-existing health conditions. Pregnancy is critical to protect from CO exposure, especially for the fetus. The traditional method to test for CO in people is a blood test, followed by the blood sample sent to a lab for analysis.
Test or get tested: Health care providers should be equipped to blood-gas and analyze or alternatively, test with a pulse CO-oxymeter or breath analysis module for immediate, non-invasive carboxyhemoglobin % measurements for all patients displaying symptoms of CO poisoning. The standard therapy requires supplemental oxygen, ventilatory support and monitoring the heart rate. Hyperbaric therapy may also be prescribed or required for life safety.
