Treatment or prevention of lung diseases using carbon monoxide

摘要

A method of treating a patient having a pulmonary disease, comprising determining the target blood hemoglobin carbon monoxide concentration of the patient. The method also includes administering carbon monoxide to the patient at a first concentration during the initial period and measuring the patient's blood hemoglobin carbon monoxide concentration. This method calculates the dose of carbon monoxide required to reach the target hemoglobin monoxide concentration within a defined period based on the measured hemoglobin monoxide concentration and the target hemoglobin monoxide concentration. Including. The method also includes administering the calculated dose of carbon monoxide to the patient for a defined period of time to achieve the target blood hemoglobin carbon monoxide concentration of the patient.
