The affinity of CO to hemoglobin is 240-fold that of O2, and the dissociation of carbonyl hemoglobin is only 1/3600 of oxyhemoglobin. As a non-cumulative toxin, CO can be gradually dissociated from carbonyl hemoglobin after contact and treatment, so it has no chronic toxic effects.13-15 Up to now, the pathogenesis for DEACMP remains unclear.
