Exhaled Carbon Monoxide Measurement Errors: A Systematic Review of Causes and Solutions

Abstract

The review will discuss the various etiologies that lead to a faulty measurement using exhaled carbon monoxide devices, widely utilized in clinical settings, especially with smoking-cessation programs and the assessment of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO). These devices, though of paramount importance in monitoring CO levels, bear errors in measurement that may be immense in significance to clinical decisions and patient outcomes. Some of the other common reasons for faulty readings include calibration errors, different sensor technologies, humidity and temperature, poor breath sampling on the part of the users, and the ageing of devices. Even with an increase in the sensitivity of sensors, their performance can be influenced by both external and internal factors. Periodic recalibration of the devices, their proper use, and updating with advanced technologies are stressed in the review for error-free results. This would aid in overcoming most the problems with exhaled CO measurement devices and enhance their reliability, since continuous and accurate data would be provided for both clinical and emergency use.
