Testing a new carbon monoxide test in the ER
This trial looks at a fast blood test (capillary HbCO) to measure carbon monoxide poisoning in people coming to the ER with possible CO symptoms. It could help doctors diagnose and treat CO poisoning quicker.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the emergency department with symptoms like headache, nausea, vomiting, or passing out
- You have a reason to think you may have been exposed to carbon monoxide (like others feeling sick, smoke, or a CO detector going off)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are willing to take part in the study

This trial tests whether adding a steroid medicine to standard oxygen therapy helps people recover from carbon monoxide poisoning. It may reduce brain damage and improve long-term outcomes.
This study takes and stores blood (and DNA) from people who were sick from carbon monoxide exposure. It’s meant to help researchers better understand the condition and what happens in the body after exposure.
This study will measure the amount of carbon monoxide you breathe out over time while you are in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if these levels relate to how well patients do, which could help doctors predict outcomes and personalize care.
This trial studies certain tiny particles in the blood in adults with acute carbon monoxide poisoning. It may help researchers understand what happens in the body and how well hyperbaric oxygen treatment works.
This trial looks at whether a new way of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood can help doctors quickly understand why a patient is short of breath. It is for adults who come to the emergency room with trouble breathing, and it involves doing an extra analysis on a blood sample that would be taken anyway.
This study looks at people who have been sickened by carbon monoxide (CO) from an accident or exposure. It aims to better understand what happens over time, which could help improve care and outcomes in the future.
