Document Summary
Robby was out playing darts and returned home at 7pm with his house being quite cold. He fired up an old kerosene-fueled heater to warm up the place. Spent an hour making dinner in the basement on a barbeque (propane combustion) and ate while watching news on tv. He felt lightheaded and unsteady when he got up and passed out in the kitchen after becoming very disoriented. Pressure values were recorded as follows, the next day at the hospital when he was in. Icu: pn2 573 mmhg, po2 100 mmhg, pco2 40 mmhg, pco 0. 4 mmhg, % o2 saturation 50%. That means each hb bind to two o2. In cold weather the t is shifted to left b/c decreasing the o will hold tightly together. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas which in sufficient concentrations, or if breathed over a period, can kill without warning.
