Article Synopsis
- Acute carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) is a significant cause of emergency department visits, with symptoms that can range from mild to critical, making diagnosis challenging.
- This systematic review evaluates the accuracy of CO pulse oximetry (SpCO) against conventional blood gas analysis for measuring carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in suspected COP cases.
- Findings from six studies involving 1,734 patients indicate that while SpCO has high specificity (93%), its low sensitivity (65%) renders it unsuitable as a screening tool in emergency settings, but it may have potential for use in prehospital situations.
