[Comparison of the reliability of 2 different methods of carboxyhemoglobin determination].

This paper was aimed at an evaluation of two different methods of carboxyhemoglobin determination in blood: colorimetric method according to Wolff and conductometric method. In result of this comparison it has been established that Wolff's method was less accurate and gave higher results than did the conductometric method. Reliability of both methods was evaluated and the reasons for Wolff's method errors were discussed.
