检查 这是关键的诊断检验。正常水平约为 1% - 3% 而吸烟者可高达 10%。[18]Beppu T. The role of MR imaging in assessment of brain damage from carbon monoxide poisoning: a review of the literature.

应使用一氧化碳血氧测量法来检测碳氧血红蛋白 (CO-Hb) 水平。非侵入性脉搏一氧化碳血氧测量法对临床结局的影响尚待确定,目前并不推荐它。[15]Hampson NB. Noninvasive pulse CO-oximetry expedites evaluation and management of patients with carbon monoxide poisoning.

由于静脉和动脉取样之间的结果差异性不大,没有必要进行动脉取样。
碳氧血红蛋白水平可能随着时间和治疗而下降,因此可能无法反应中毒的真实严重程度。[8]Kao LW, Nanagas KA. Toxicity associated with carbon monoxide.
