Carboxyhemoglobin pulse co-oximeter® Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®) is a breakthrough measurement that allows clinicians to noninvasively and immediately detect elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the blood—facilitating earlier diagnosis and treatment for patients poisoned by carbon monoxide. >> Exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of death by poisoning in industrialized countries.1 >> CO poisoning is often misdiagnosed because symptoms are similar to the flu.2 >> Timely diagnosis and treatment of CO poisoning is critical.3 >> SpCO has been shown to identify 60% more carbon monoxide poisonings than traditional methods.4 “ Carboxyhemoglobin measurements performed noninvasively in the Emergency Department with Masimo Pulse CO-Oximetry should lead to enhanced diagnosis of CO poisoning, increased referral for appropriate treatment, and a resultant reduction in morbidity from the disease.” neil b. hampson, MD Pulmonologist, Department of Hyperbaric Medicine, Virginia Mason Medical Center, Seattle, Washington
