Incidence and range of carboxyhaemoglobin in blood for transfusion.
No statistically significant difference was found between the levels of carboxyhaemoglobin detected in samples from 42 blood units and their sample side arms. A cooximeter was used. However, carboxyhaemoglobin in a range of 1.1-6.9% was found in 18 out of a further 100 side arm samples taken randomly from the blood bank.
