Evaluation of CO Intoxication Rate, by CAPillary HbCO

Evaluation of the Accuracy of Capillary Versus Venous CO Measurement in Subjects With Suspected Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: a Prospective, Multicenter, Diagnostic, Controlled Study.

The main goal of COCAP is to compare COHb (carboxyhemoglobin) levels measured from venous or arterial samples with those measured from capillary samples in patients suspected of Carbon Monoxide intoxication.Patient participation in the study will be limited to capillary sampling (approx. 5-15 minutes).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patient admitted to emergency department
• Presenting one or more clinical signs (asthenia, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, etc.) and a history compatible with CO intoxication (collective symptoms, notion of smoke, activation of a detector, etc.).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Minors
• Patients under protective supervision (safeguard of justice, curatorship, guardianship)
• Incarcerated patients
• Pregnant or breast-feeding women
• Patients refusing to take part in the study
