Exhaled carbon monoxide concentration in correlation to clinical parameters to detect carbon monoxide poisoning among fire victims in an Egyptian Emergency Department
Exhaled carbon monoxide levels is a valuable diagnostic tool for the early detection of CO poisoning among fire victims with mild to moderate burn injuries. The correlation between elevated exhaled CO levels and clinical symptoms, alongside serum lactate level, supports their use as reliable indicator of CO exposure in fire victims, thereby optimizing emergency response strategies.
