An optical method and apparatus for detoxification of carbon monoxide poisoning effect
Optical technology of elimination the poisoning effect of carbon monoxide (CO) is proposed. This technology is based on the phenomenon of laser-induced photodissociation of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood vessels and capillaries. By numerical modeling of laser tissue interaction the carboxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin action spectra in skin blood vessels are calculated. The criteria of effective ways of elimination the toxic action of carboxyhemoglobin under direct irradiation it on pulmonary alveoli, through the skin, intravenously and extracorporeal irradiation are considered.
