Endogenous carbon monoxide production in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation‐related hemolysis: potential use of point‐of‐care CO‐oximetry carboxyhemoglobin to detect hemolysis

摘要

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( )‐related hemolysis is a rare but devastating condition. Death is inevitable without early recognition and prompt management. Endogenous carbon monoxide production, as an epiphenomenon of hemolysis, potentially allows rapid detection of such condition by use of point‐of‐care ‐oximetry carboxyhemoglobin.
