A member asked:
Can someone on ventilator get elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not from vent: They may be on the ventilator because of elevated carboxy hb levels and associated problems as some patients exposed to a fire and smoke inhalation might be. The vent itself does not cause this.
