What happen when the exposure to carbon monoxide (from coal gas) is extremely dangerous and can kill a patient?
1.The compound carboxy-haemoglobin (COHb) it forms with haemoglobin can gradually clot the blood resulting in circulatory failure.
2.COHb reduces the ability of blood to transport oxygen by rupturing a vast majority of erythrocytes.
3.COHb is stable compound and thus deprives blood of its ability to transport oxygen.
4.COHb greatly modifies the structure of haemoglobin thus making it lose its affinity for oxygen.
