    2:38 Treatment of Carbon monoxide poisoning
    Carbon monoxide poisoning typically occurs from breathing in carbon monoxide (CO) at excessive levels.[3] Symptoms are often described as "flu-like" and commonly include headache, dizziness, weakness, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.[1] Large exposures can result in loss of consciousness, arrhythmias, seizures, or death.[1][2] The classically described "cherry red skin" rarely occurs.[2] Long-term complications may include chronic fatigue, trouble with memory, and movement problems.[5]
    CO is a colorless and odorless gas which is initially non-irritating.[5] It is produced during incomplete burning of organic matter.[5] This can occur from motor vehicles, heaters, or cooking equipment that run on carbon-based fuels.[1] Carbon monoxide primarily causes adverse effects by combining with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) preventing the blood from carrying oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide as carbaminohemoglobin.[5] Additionally, many other hemoproteins such as myoglobin, Cytochrome P450, and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase are affected, along with other metallic and non-metallic cellular targets.[2][6]
    Diagnosis is typically based on a HbCO level of more than 3% among nonsmokers and more than 10% among smokers.[2] The biological threshold for carboxyhemoglobin tolerance is typically accepted to be 15% COHb, meaning toxicity is consistently observed at levels in excess of this concentration.[7] The FDA has previously set a threshold of 14% COHb in certain clinical trials evaluating the therapeutic potential of carbon monoxide.[8] In general, 30% COHb is considered severe carbon monoxide poisoning.[9] The highest reported non-fatal carboxyhemoglobin level was 73% COHb.[9]
    Efforts to prevent poisoning include carbon monoxide detectors, proper venting of gas appliances, keeping chimneys clean, and keeping exhaust systems of vehicles in good repair.[1] Treatment of poisoning generally consists of giving 100% oxygen along with supportive care.[2][5] This should generally be carried out until symptoms are no longer present and the HbCO level is less than 3%/10%.[2]
    Carbon monoxide poisoning is relatively common, resulting in more than 20,000 emergency room visits a year in the United States.[1][10] It is the most common type of fatal poisoning in many countries.[11] In the United States, non-fire related cases result in more than 400 deaths a year.[1] Poisonings occur more often in the winter, particularly from the use of portable generators during power outages.[2][12] The toxic effects of CO have been known since ancient history.[13][9] The discovery that hemoglobin is affected by CO emerged with an investigation by James Watt and Thomas Beddoes into the therapeutic potential of hydrocarbonate in 1793, and later confirmed by Claude Bernard between 1846 and 1857.[9]

    I had severe carbon monoxide poisoning in the 70's. It was from a water heater in a bathroom. I stood up and passed out on the floor instead of in the bath. An hour or so later I woke up and was told in the hospital it take 90 days to completely renew the blood and if during this time I was exposed to more carbon monoxide it could have a cumulative effect and just a small exposure could be fatal. Within a year a person died in that same bathroom from carbon monoxide poisoning. Indeed, trailers are deadly. I had a friend who lost his daughter and grandchildren from a poorly vented heater.

      I have a new car model (about 2017) working on diesel and a semi-open garage (I mean there is a ceiling that covers two-thirds of the car but not all the car, three walls but there is no door in the entry).
      Can carbon monoxide still be dangerous if the car's motor remains on, or is it safe even if I forget to put it off and stay inside the garage?

    Could methylene blue help with this issue

    • @MedicalCentric
      @MedicalCentric  5 месяцев назад +1

      Methylene blue is not a standard treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide poisoning primarily affects the body's ability to carry oxygen, as it binds to hemoglobin more effectively than oxygen. The primary treatment is to immediately remove the person from the exposure source and administer 100% oxygen, often through a tight-fitting mask. In severe cases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where the patient breathes pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber, is used.
      Methylene blue is used to treat methemoglobinemia, a different condition where the iron in the hemoglobin is altered and unable to effectively release oxygen to body tissues. While both conditions affect oxygen delivery in the body, the mechanisms and treatments are distinct. Therefore, methylene blue would not be appropriate or effective in treating carbon monoxide poisoning.
