급성일산화탄소중독환자의 혈중 Carboxyhemoglobin치 분석

Abstract

Carboxyhemoglobin concentrations in 201 patients admitted to the Seoul National University Hospital between Jan. 1, 1980 and Dec. 31, 1982 with a diagnosis of acute carbon monoxide poisoning were determined with IL-282 CO-Oximeter (Instrumentation Laboratories Co.). Mean value of carboxyhemoglobin concentration at admission was 34. 896 and it increased significantly with the severity of consciousness deterioration. Using the mathematical model of Jack E. Peterson et al (Arch Environ Health, 21: 165-171, 1970) for use in estimating carboxyhemoglobin, the concentra tion of carbon monoxide to which the patients were exposed was predicted. Over 75% of patients were exposed to carbon monoxide at concentrations between 200ppm and 800ppm for 3 to 9 hours
