Abstract
The postexposure relationship between venous blood carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) saturation and the concentration of carbon monoxide in breath is described by a quadratic equation derived from data obtained from 25 experimental human exposures to CO. Alveolar breath analysis can be used to accurately estimate the postexposure COHb saturation in adult white males.
