AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how carbon monoxide is removed from rat blood when starting with a high concentration of carboxyhemoglobin (40%).
- The researchers found that using a two-exponential model provided a more accurate fit for the data compared to a one-exponential model.
- However, the differences in estimates of carbon monoxide levels between the two models were minimal, suggesting that the simpler one-exponential model is generally adequate for practical use.
Article Abstract
The elimination of carbon monoxide from rat blood was studied from a starting point of a nonsteady-state concentration of 40% for carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). The accuracy of the fit was statistically improved by the employment of a two-exponential elimination model rather than that of the one-exponential model. Yet, the differences in the COHb estimates attained with the two models were negligible. Therefore, for practical purposes, the one-exponential model seems reasonably reliable for estimating COHb.
