What is the cause of carbon monoxide poisoning?

The pathogenesis of carbon monoxide poisoning is that carbon monoxide hinders the combination of oxygen and human hemoglobin, resulting in hypoxia of organs and tissues.

Under normal circumstances, hemoglobin in the human body has the ability to carry oxygen. During blood circulation, oxygen carried by hemoglobin can enter various tissues and organs of the body for oxygen supply. When the human body inhales too much carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide will compete with oxygen for hemoglobin, and the ability of carbon monoxide to combine with hemoglobin is 240 times that of oxygen and hemoglobin, so the patient will soon appear organ tissue hypoxia, especially for brain tissue with high oxygen demand, the damage is more serious, and the longer the patient is unconscious, the greater the damage to brain tissue and the worse the prognosis.
