Abstract |
Six human volunteers were exposed to various CO concentrations ranging from 1000ppm for 10min to 35,600ppm for 45s. The experimental procedure and the results are presented and discussed in detail (blood and breath analyses, subjective and cardiovascular responses, electroencephalographic records, visual evoked responses). CO was absorbed rapidly. It was found that the increase in percent carboxyhaemoglobin saturation in venous blood per litre of CO mixture inhaled can be accurately predicted by the equation log (Δ% COHb/L) = 1.036 log (ppm CO inhaled) - 4.4793. |
