Carbon monoxide (CO), total hemoglobin (Hb) and carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) in the blood and reddish discolored body cavity fluids of cadavers which had not been exposed to fire and CO were analyzed. In 13 cadavers found on land, the maximum saturation of HbCO in the blood was 3.6%, and was 10.1% in the body cavity fluids. There was only one case in which the HbCO saturations in the body cavity fluids were more than 10%. In seven drowned bodies found in fresh water, the highest HbCO saturation in the blood was 6.1%, and was 44.1% in the body cavity fluids. There were three cases in which the HbCO saturations in the body cavity fluids were more than 10%. In 12 drowned bodies found in sea water, the HbCO saturations in the blood were not more than 6.2%, and the maximum saturation of HbCO in the body cavity fluids was 83.7%. There were eight cases in which the HbCO saturations in the body cavity fluids were more than 10%. The results seem to indicate that the interpretation of HbCO saturation in the blood would not be affected significantly by the postmortem formation of CO, and that body cavity fluids should not be used for CO determination.
对未接触过火灾和一氧化碳的尸体的血液、总血红蛋白（Hb）、碳氧血红蛋白（HbCO）以及尸体体腔中呈红色变色的液体进行了分析。在陆地上发现的13具尸体中，血液中HbCO的最大饱和度为3.6%，体腔液体中为10.1%。只有1例体腔液体中HbCO饱和度超过10%。在7具淡水溺亡尸体中，血液中最高HbCO饱和度为6.1%，体腔液体中为44.1%。有3例体腔液体中HbCO饱和度超过10%。在12具海水溺亡尸体中，血液中HbCO饱和度不超过6.2%，体腔液体中HbCO的最大饱和度为83.7%。有8例体腔液体中HbCO饱和度超过10%。结果似乎表明，血液中HbCO饱和度的解读不会因死后一氧化碳的形成而受到显著影响，并且体腔液体不应被用于一氧化碳的测定。
