Diagnostic and Therapeutic Significance of Several Biochemical Indicators of Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) is a common clinical critical emergency. Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) is a general indicator of ACOP clinical diagnosis, but cannot reflect the pathogenetic condition accurately. The present article reviewed several biochemical indicators of ACOP, including S100β protein, neuron specific enolase (NSE), and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) for occupational clinical reference.
