AbstractIn years 1998-2003, carbon monoxide poisonings were a death cause in 121 cases (5.0%) of a total of 2408 autopsy reports reviewed. Possible relationships between carboxyhemoglobin concentration and ethanol concentration, age and gender of the victims were assessed. The place of intoxication was also considered. Seasonal distribution of CO intoxication was confirmed. Males accounted for more than 77% of all victims. The highest concentration of carboxyhemoglobin was found in the age group of 31-40 years. A protective effect of low ethanol concentration (< 3 per thousand) was noted in persons exposed to CO. The COHb level was measured by the Wolff's method.
