Research progresses of end-tidal carbon monoxide in neonatal hemolytic disease / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The end-tidal carbon monoxide concentration reflects the level of endogenous carbon monoxide,which can be used as an index of blood bilirubin and hemolysis.Most studies have confirmed that ETCO contrbutes to identification of neonatal hemolytic disease early and reducing the risk of development into serious hyperbilirubinemia.This paper mainly reviews the diagnostic value of ETCO in neonatal hemolytic disease.
