SpCO Triage Algorithm for Carbon Monoxide Exposure in Clark County District 6

DESCRIPTION

This SpCO Triage Algorithm is designed for use in Clark County District 6, providing clear guidelines for evaluating patients with suspected carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. Patients with SpCO levels above 3% require prompt medical evaluation. Those with loss of consciousness, neuro impairment, or SpCO levels above 25% may necessitate direct transport to a hyperbaric unit, while others may not require further evaluation. This protocol emphasizes the importance of assessing symptoms and determining the source of CO exposure for non-smokers.

Consider direct transport to hyperbaric unit. SpCO> 12 SpCO < 12 Transport on 100% O2 For ED evaluation Symptoms of CO exposure? NO YES Transport on 100% O2 For ED evaluation No further evaluation needed. Determine source of CO if non smoker
