Investigating the use of CO-oximetry for simultaneous measurement of carboxyhaemoglobin and methaemoglobin in post-mortem blood
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that exerts its toxicity on humans, when inhaled, by bonding with haemoglobin (Hb) to produce carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb). This results in tissue hypoxia which can be fatal at high blood saturation levels. Carboxyhaemoglobin may be measured using a Radiometer ABL825 FLEX...
