Testing a new carbon monoxide test in the ER
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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 medication to standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves recovery for adults hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning.
This study looks at whether the level of bicarbonate (a substance in your blood) when you arrive at the emergency room can help predict if you might need to be in the intensive care unit or die within the next 48 hours. It's a simple blood test, no extra procedures.
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 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 study watches how exhaled carbon monoxide levels change over time in people in the intensive care unit (ICU). This might help doctors understand recovery and outcomes better.
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.
