Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical utility of triage screening for anemia and carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) in the ED setting.This is a prospective, nonrandomized, multi-center study of the performance of simultaneous non-invasive testing for two common disorders (COP and anemia). We will determine the limits of agreement and performance characteristics of non-invasive carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) and hemoglobin (SpHb) values compared to standard blood tests for measurement of carboxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin, in the emergency department setting.
The purpose of this study is to collect non-invasive observational data in suspected or known carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide poisoning still places a burden on the healthcare system worldwide. While oxygen therapy is the cornerstone treatment, the role and practical modalities of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) remain controversial. This study aimed at comparing one session of HBO at 2 absolute atmosphere followed by 4 hours of normobaric oxygen therapy to 6 hours of normobaric oxygen therapy in adult victims of acute domestic carbon monoxide poisoning and without coma.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is common. Many adults with CO poisoning have long-term, even permanent brain injury following poisoning. However, very little is known about the long-term outcome of children with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. In this study we plan to perform cognitive (thinking) and vestibular (balance) testing in children (ages 6 to 16)at 6 weeks and 6 months following CO poisoning. At the 6-week visit, if the child and parents agree, we will ask each child to provide a DNA sample by one of three methods: mouthwash, spit collection, or swabbing the inside of the child's cheek. Each child's DNA will be analyzed for genes that are known to affect outcome following brain injury.
