Carbon Monoxide poisoning

Q. Carbon monoxide poisoning true is 

a)  It is having 10 times more affinity than oxygen
b) 60 percent is not deadly.
c) . Concentration above 10% are dangerous and need observation
d)  Concentration above 10% are dangerous and need treatment with pure oxygen for more than 24 hours

d

Option A: Affinity of CO for Hb is 200-250 times that of oxygen. It causes a conformational change in Hb molecule and reduces affinity of Hb for O2, shifting the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left.

Option B: Concentrations less than 10% are usually asymptomatic. Concentrations >60% are fatal. Arterial carboxyhemoglobin level must be obtained because pulse oximetry can be falsely elevated.

Option C: Concentrations above 10 per cent are dangerous and need treatment with pure oxygen for more than 24 hours. Administration of 100% O2 reduces the half-life of CO from 250 minutes in room air to 40 to 60 minutes on 100% oxygen.
