What are the treatment options for hemoglobin-related toxicity?
Treatment depends on the specific toxin involved. For carbon monoxide poisoning, immediate removal from the exposure source and administration of 100% oxygen or hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recommended to displace carbon monoxide from hemoglobin. In methemoglobinemia, methylene blue may be administered to reduce methemoglobin to hemoglobin, restoring its oxygen-carrying capacity.
