Carbon monoxide poisoning can be a fatal condition!

Carbon monoxide is released from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons (due to insufficient oxygen).

Carbon monoxide poisoning shifts the oxygen dissociation curve to the left. It has high affinity for hemoglobin...It’s also a mitochondrial toxin (inhibits complex IV of the electron transport chain).

Symptoms include headache, dizziness, muscle aches, flu-like symptom.

Thank you, you re literally the best teacher, on YouTube or elsewhere, thx so much for the great content

How can a person from 1 day to 5 years tell their adult caretakers that they are being effected?? A 3 month old could have symptoms, and not tell you. It happened to me all my youth, until I changed rooms. I slept directly above a furnace for most of my youth, I complained once I had words, no one could address my issues. I had several idiopathic conditions I know now as CO poisoning. A baby can’t tell you they are hallucinating, and suffering and then passing out at night, or anything for that matter. My mom thought I just didn’t want to get out of bed. Listen your kids, closely. Read between the lines when it comes to humans who are too young to communicate like adults

Very logically explained! Detailed but still simple to understand! I can’t believe I actually enjoyed studying. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Just a small correction at 8:14, complex 2 of ETC doesn't actively pump any protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

22 tourists died in Murree, Pakistan today from carbon monoxide poisoning after their cars were struck in heavy snow storm

Me seeing co poisoning lecture and thinking this will be hard, deciding to look some random youtube video which will let me understand better than any one, and seeing medicosis the first one in my search, literally that's what happiness means...
You have great work for the world man, God bless you ❤

Speed 1.7 looks like eminum is giving lecture... ✅ Awsome concepts

[richardgriggs]

Listening to your smoke (or maybe CO) detector beep in the background the entire time is maybe the most ironic thing I've seen this year. Solid video tho.

[nikkib]

This is still the best video i have ever watched on this topic. I recall what you talk about here SO much. Thank you for your amazing content!!

[shivanishekhavat]

You are literally a life saver!! Amazing videos and wonderful teaching style... Thank you so much 😄

[ضحىيوسف-عت]

😮 I think answer is B because even oxyHB if 100 percent mean nothing to tissue

[elnazsa]

Hello and thank you for the great content and your amazing way to teach.

[hannahrosa]

You are so easy to listen to.Thank you. I grew up in Ontario where is snows massively. I heard that if you back up into a snow bank, your tail pipe would clog and you'd die of Co poisoning. What say you.

[sanahameed]

We see every year the cases of CO poisoning in our country Pakistan in winter season....our nation needs awareness

[genuine_meteen]

Ans:Pt B with CO poison is worse, since the mitochondria cant use the o2 unlike in hemolytic anemia.

[Milinokokoro]

Always the best videos, perfect amount of info. And critical thinking!!

[mankwerabotho]

thank you so much. you explain the dynamics so well, regarding oxygen levels to the tissues and arteries

[DavidRobertson-nwiv]

The cherry red colour sometimes found in CO poisoning isn't due to decreased utilization of the O2 in mitochondria and having more oxygenated blood in the veins, but due to the CO itself tightly binding to the iron in heme molecules in the blood and skin. Carboxyhemoglobin is bright red even in absence of oxygen. This trait of carbon monoxide is why it is used in the meatpacking industry to artificially maintain the bright red colour of fresh meat in packaged meat products.

Still loved the video though! I really appreciate your content!

[Joanify]

Thank you for this informative video!
Alarmingly, Pulse Oximeters can't distinguish between CO and O2, so in an ER setting they might miss milder cases of CO poisoning. Yikes!

[muaadhhussein]

you never disappointed me, Thank you ;)
