Carbon monoxide (CO) production from heme catabolism is increased with hemolysis. A portable end-tidal CO (ETCO) monitor was used to analyze breath samples in 16 children with sickle cell anemia (SCA, 5-14 years). Median (range) ETCO for SCA was 4.35 ppm (1.8-9.7) versus 0.80 ppm (0.2-2.3) for controls (P < 0.001). ETCOc >2.1 ppm provided sensitivity and specificity of 93.8% (69.8-99.8%) for detecting SCA. ETCO correlated with reticulocytosis (P = 0.015) and bilirubin (P = 0.009), and was 32% lower in children receiving hydroxyurea (P = 0.09). Point-of-care ETCO analysis may prove useful for non-invasive monitoring of hemolysis and as a screening test for SCA.
溶血会使血红素分解代谢产生的一氧化碳(CO)增加。使用便携式潮气末一氧化碳(ETCO)监测仪对16名镰状细胞贫血(SCA,5 - 14岁)儿童的呼吸样本进行分析。SCA组的ETCO中位数(范围)为4.35 ppm(1.8 - 9.7),而对照组为0.80 ppm(0.2 - 2.3)(P < 0.001)。ETCOc >2.1 ppm检测SCA的敏感性和特异性为93.8%(69.8 - 99.8%)。ETCO与网织红细胞增多(P = 0.015)和胆红素(P = 0.009)相关,接受羟基脲治疗的儿童ETCO低32%(P = 0.09)。即时护理ETCO分析可能对溶血的无创监测以及作为SCA的筛查试验有用。
