EVALUATION OF SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY PARAMETERS IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine systemic inflammatory blood parameters measured in complete blood count of patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and to evaluate the relation between the parameters and the severity of poisoning.
Material and Methods: Our study is a retrospective case control study. Data was obtained through hospital automation system. Patients who were detected to have 10% and above carboxyhemoglobin levels were included in the study. Patients' complete blood count parameters, red cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratios (PLR) and treatments were recorded.
Results: When the control group was compared to patient group, WBC, leukocyte, neutrophil, platelet, NLR and PLR values were higher in the patient group and these differences were statistically significant (p <0.05). Patients were split into two groups in accordance with the severity of their poisoning. No significant differences were observed in terms of laboratory results (p >0.05).
Conclusion: In patients with CO poisoning, values of NLO, PLO and RDW indicate inflammation. We consider that these values do not assume a role in determination of poisoning severity and in shaping of the treatment to be administered.
