➡️ Carboxyhemoglobin Definition
Carboxyhemoglobin is formed inside of red blood cells whenever carbon monoxide is present due to inhalation. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that results from incomplete oxidation of carbon-based matter. It's a poisonous gas that can cause sudden illness or death if too much enters the body. When compared to oxygen, carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin with a much greater affinity. This is problematic in humans because it can essentially block oxygen molecules from binding to hemoglobin which means that the organs and tissues of the body would not get the oxygen that it needs.
➡️ Carboxyhemoglobin Normal Range
A normal carboxyhemoglobin level for nonsmokers is less than 3%. Smokers may have carboxyhemoglobin levels anywhere from 3-12%. A person with carbon monoxide poisoning will have a carboxyhemoglobin level that is greater than 15%. This would be considered a life-threatening condition and the patient would require treatment in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
