Carbon monoxide poisoning typically occurs from breathing in carbon monoxide (CO) at excessive levels.[3] Symptoms are often described as "flu-like" and commonly include headache, dizziness, weakness, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.[1] Large exposures can result in loss of consciousness, arrhythmias, seizures, or death.[1][2] The classically described "cherry red skin" rarely occurs.[2] Long-term complications may include chronic fatigue, trouble with memory, and movement problems.[5]
CO is a colorless and odorless gas which is initially non-irritating.[5] It is produced during incomplete burning of organic matter.[5] This can occur from motor vehicles, heaters, or cooking equipment that run on carbon-based fuels.[1] Carbon monoxide primarily causes adverse effects by combining with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) preventing the blood from carrying oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide as carbaminohemoglobin.[5] Additionally, many other hemoproteins such as myoglobin, Cytochrome P450, and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase are affected, along with other metallic and non-metallic cellular targets.[2][6]
Diagnosis is typically based on a HbCO level of more than 3% among nonsmokers and more than 10% among smokers.[2] The biological threshold for carboxyhemoglobin tolerance is typically accepted to be 15% COHb, meaning toxicity is consistently observed at levels in excess of this concentration.[7] The FDA has previously set a threshold of 14% COHb in certain clinical trials evaluating the therapeutic potential of carbon monoxide.[8] In general, 30% COHb is considered severe carbon monoxide poisoning.[9] The highest reported non-fatal carboxyhemoglobin level was 73% COHb.[9]
Efforts to prevent poisoning include carbon monoxide detectors, proper venting of gas appliances, keeping chimneys clean, and keeping exhaust systems of vehicles in good repair.[1] Treatment of poisoning generally consists of giving 100% oxygen along with supportive care.[2][5] This should generally be carried out until symptoms are no longer present and the HbCO level is less than 3%/10%.[2]
Carbon monoxide poisoning is relatively common, resulting in more than 20,000 emergency room visits a year in the United States.[1][10] It is the most common type of fatal poisoning in many countries.[11] In the United States, non-fire related cases result in more than 400 deaths a year.[1] Poisonings occur more often in the winter, particularly from the use of portable generators during power outages.[2][12] The toxic effects of CO have been known since ancient history.[13][9] The discovery that hemoglobin is affected by CO emerged with an investigation by James Watt and Thomas Beddoes into the therapeutic potential of hydrocarbonate in 1793, and later confirmed by Claude Bernard between 1846 and 1857.[9]
I had severe carbon monoxide poisoning in the 70's. It was from a water heater in a bathroom. I stood up and passed out on the floor instead of in the bath. An hour or so later I woke up and was told in the hospital it take 90 days to completely renew the blood and if during this time I was exposed to more carbon monoxide it could have a cumulative effect and just a small exposure could be fatal. Within a year a person died in that same bathroom from carbon monoxide poisoning. Indeed, trailers are deadly. I had a friend who lost his daughter and grandchildren from a poorly vented heater.
Was it painful?
@@Slade69 NO PAIN. JUST A GENERAL TIRED FEELING FOLLOWED BY DIZZINESS. LUCKILY I TURNED OFF THE HEATER BEFORE GETTING IN THE BATH. OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT BE TALKING WITH YOU TODAY. SOMEONE IN THE GAS COMPANY DIED THAT WAY. HE USED TO GO TO THE TOILET AND READ THE NEWSPAPER NEXT TO THAT SAME KIND OF WATER HEATER. AN ACCUMULATION OVER 90 DAYS KILLED HIM. SMALL DOSES ADDING UP TO THE LETHAL DOSE. IT TURNS THE HEMOGLOBIN TO AN IRREVERSIBLE BLUE COMPOUND THEN IT DOES NOT DO IT'S JOB OF CARRYING OXYGEN.
@@Slade69 probably not man u won't know what hit you first u lose consciousness so no pain there
@@deathboy3864 I almost died and I am 17 I coulee t breath at first and almost passed out bc I was behind a car with and it was smoking bad and I was behind it for like a good hour or more 😳 felt nothing but scary
Did u have the smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector in your home or no?
Thanks I just wanted to know would it do the job quick
Same here...i came to look for a quick, painless way
I've been researching this for awhile. I don't want a failed attempt. I can purchase online. I've heard different things about the amount needed. Do you know how much I need to do the job?
that's the reason why I'm here pal. see you on the other side
@@ronaldgaotote1710 do you know the amount needed or where to get that info? I can purchase online 550 liter cylinder 1000 ppm/air. Not sure how many to get. I have a 2005 car. Not sure that sitting in it in a garage would work. I've been on Quora & youtube trying to figure this out. I'm getting different things . Any info would help.
LMAO
Thank you, helps a lot in my presentation preparation ❤
Thankyou so much 🙏
You're welcome
Very informative video, thanks for making
Glad it was helpful!
this was very helpful😀
glad it was helpful
I’ve been in some home where people keep the heat pumping and can’t rationalize opening the window 🙄
I make frequently let the place air out, not just for carbon monoxide risk, but also i been cooking, breathing and expelling gases… why continue to breathe that in?
I have a new car model (about 2017) working on diesel and a semi-open garage (I mean there is a ceiling that covers two-thirds of the car but not all the car, three walls but there is no door in the entry).
Can carbon monoxide still be dangerous if the car's motor remains on, or is it safe even if I forget to put it off and stay inside the garage?
So many sad comments. If you’re reading this, there’s still hope ❤️
Unaliving yourself doesn’t take the pain away, you just transfer it to your loved ones.
You’re just ill and need some treatment and TLC
There is no loved ones
the loved ones don’t care lol
There is no hope, there are no loved ones, there is only the way out.
my loved ones hate people like me
Thank you for the wonderful explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video.

@@MedicalCentric he's talking about thanks for helping him by giving him info on how to unalive themselves
@@yannideichler1509can’t wait to unalive myself
Many already knew anyway and have used it for suicide. I think it's better not to.
PLEASE DON'T!!!
IT'S SELFISH TO COMMIT SUICUIDE!!!
DON'T BE A SELFISH PRICK, AND GOD HAS GREAT OLANS DOR YOU, AND YOUR LIFE!!!
DON'T RUIN THAT BY RUINONG GOD'S WORK, WHICH IS YOU!!!
GET SOME HELP, PLEASE!!!
Thank you, now I'm gonna try it
Thank you
This video has so much great information, I suggest that viewers can also search Molemen Herbs on CZcams, they have several natural remedies to help cure and reverse different deadly diseases and STDs, I was fortunate to get a cure for my herpes diagnosis with the help of their medicine.
So if i run a hose from my exhaust pipe on my vehicle and put the hose going inside the car with the windows up, will it do the trick? Cant be arsed with pain i just wanna pass out then never wake up
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, but I can't provide that information. It's important to talk to a mental health professional or reach out to a crisis helpline for support.
I normally feel like this period :/
I need to move out of the city
Ummm the city is a dangerous place
Just needed to know how to lull myself - thanks
Perfect
Could methylene blue help with this issue
Methylene blue is not a standard treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide poisoning primarily affects the body's ability to carry oxygen, as it binds to hemoglobin more effectively than oxygen. The primary treatment is to immediately remove the person from the exposure source and administer 100% oxygen, often through a tight-fitting mask. In severe cases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where the patient breathes pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber, is used.
Methylene blue is used to treat methemoglobinemia, a different condition where the iron in the hemoglobin is altered and unable to effectively release oxygen to body tissues. While both conditions affect oxygen delivery in the body, the mechanisms and treatments are distinct. Therefore, methylene blue would not be appropriate or effective in treating carbon monoxide poisoning.
Very scary
all of the ppl here who want to leave this world :( please don’t do it, things do get better and if your attempt fails you will regret it just please seek help ❤❤❤
Is there a way to test if you’ve been poisoned with carbon monoxide?
Check your blood oxygen levels
SHARED
Hello, me and my wife's has carbon monoxide level 20. But we don't know why had it. Carbon Monoxide comes from Boiler, Hiter? And now what should I do for carbon monoxide level 20? Please tell me
Make sure to keep the windows open to air out carbon monoxide
And any other gasses or smoke that can accumulate
so if I park in a closed garage leaving my car running, will that be good enough?
Never do that. That can kill you
@@357trent lol. It's his purpose for it if you want to help you should have said it doesnt kill you or something XD
Sir can u plz give me reference for this like book name author and page number
Your cute so you wanna go on a date
I'm here to learn if my Car 🚗 exhaust can do the Job quick, in my enclosed garage. I don't want an unsuccessful attempt, and suffer in the hospital with an oxygen cylinder. I'm only 23. See you mates in the Moon🌙.
God Bless America 🇺🇸
We the People 🇺🇸 🗽
Love you Earth🌍
Gotta be going to Jupiter without SpaceX. See you my lovely buddies😭
Where to get the Carbon Monoxide gas? I have heard that they are not sold to Individuals. Does someone know from where can This be purchased?
@@sleepyoteyou never know he could be using it as fear toxin like scarecrow
Wait so like smoking?? To??
If you boil tobacco till it's liquid it's nearly instant death
Really
Serious
painful though?
The blood in the oxygen…
Yeah that made no sense!
🛸
Mufflers, engines, and generators? Got it
no, any type of fire, when the fuel does not burn well
Your risk of breathing co increases if u have fell in the sights of lowlife no good criminals
"Replace the blood in the oxygen" ????? High standards here.
"Replacing blood with oxygen isn't possible; blood carries oxygen throughout the body. High standards indeed, but we need to stick to science!"
best way is to take some sleeping pill and as you feel drowsy turn the car on in the garage
How about alcohol? I dont have sleeping pills.
Hmm don’t know.. I don’t think that’s a good way to go!
Yooo will sleeping pills make it better??
@@chirskentac Hmm dont know and I dont think no one is.. but it sounds like it would be better tho.. you just pass out
this is the best way, i just worry that someone will come while im sleeping and “save” me. though i could probably wait until i’m home alone, but i really don’t want to wait.
Got it, so I just need to lock myself in a garage with the car turned on
U still here?
@@moelester3062 unfortunately, but not for long
@@Minipulga_ don’t do it
hey man please don’t do it, take risks explore just let go of your old life and go out into the world, you think you’ve reached your limit but truly nothing is stopping you

@@tiredofthisyetthat’s incredibly poetic. i know you probably didn’t mean it that way though. i relate to it a lot
Nah, if Jesus wanted anything to do with humanity, there would not be so many people under this video looking for ways to kill themselves
Thanks for the information👍
Finally I can RIP 🗿🙂🙌
help me out too, where u gonna buy what from
@@beyza2000.Halfords
@@beyza2000.try sitting in your garage with the car on (has to be closed) if you don’t have a garage i think covering your exhaust pipe and sitting in your car will work
@@beyza2000.if ur even still here to read that
@@brynnalynn😂😂😂 lol.. well I don't have a car and thinking of doing mine with nitrogen and plastic bag
thanks
Ready to go tired of being here
