The dangers of CO poisoning possible in motor homes, recreational boats, and so on 6. New data showing the persistent health damage that can be caused by chronic CO poisoning 5. The introduction of a handheld pulse-oximeter that reads COHb directly and noninvasively 4.
The use of exciting new scanning techniques in revealing damage from CO poisoning 3. A critical look at the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in decreasing the damage caused by CO poisoning 2. This book contains some unique features: 1. This present, third book, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, further extends these presentations both to new areas such as the law, rehabilitation, personal experience with CO poisoning, education of the public about CO using the World Wide Web, and so forth, and adds further new data on chronic CO poisoning.
It also presents a large body of new data on both acute and chronic CO poisoning. The second book was broader in its approach, and while extending presentations of basic and medical science, added discussions of human CO exposure under specialized conditions and in geographic locations other than the United States, in 23 chapters. The contents of that book remain current.
The first book took a very scholarly approach, presenting the latest basic and medical science of CO toxicology in 13 chapters. The scope of this book is even broader than the earlier two. This book is designed to be complementary to both earlier books, forging into new areas and following new themes. Both were published by CRC Press, the first in 1996 and the second in 2000. 8417: “8417_c000” - 5 - 20:28 - page v - #5 8417: “8417_c000” - 5 - 20:28 - page vi - #6 Preface Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is a new title covering further areas of the expansive field of carbon monoxide (CO) toxicology that were not covered in the first two books, Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Monoxide Toxicity, both edited by David G.
