Effect of Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning on Work Capacity

Hyperventilation in Carbon-monoxide Poisoning

“…This appears to be a different condition from the one described here. Apthorp, Bates, Marshall, and Mendel (1958) inhaled carbon monoxide for 80 to 120 minutes during exercise but recorded no increase in minute volume. All showed an increase in pulse rate, and Apthorp also had an increasing respiratory frequency over the last few minutes of this inhalation.…”

Carbon Monoxide Hazard in Antarctica

“…2 (Forbes, Sargent, and Roughton, 1945;Henderson et al, 1921Drinker, 1938 (Haldane and Priestley, 1935;Asmussen and Chiodi, 1941 ;Apthorp et al, 1958); but, as Haldane emphasized, such exposures may be followed by tiresome headaches coming on some hours later. At saturations between 40 and 50% there is impairment of mental function and ataxia, and collapse may occur on exertion.…”
