Neonatal exposure to methyl chloroform in tape remover.

Methyl chloroform (MC) is commonly used solvent found in some adhesive tape remover products used in intensive care nurseries. Since volatile substances can accumulate inside an infant incubator, we measured levels of MC following simulated use of 2 commercially available adhesive tape remover pads. Readily detectable levels of MC could be found in incubator air for several minutes. Although adult occupational neurotoxic thresholds are higher, increased toxic susceptibility of the neonate CNS indicates caution should be observed.

Rapid estimation of carboxyhemoglobin by breath sampling in an emergency setting.

Breath measurement of carbon monoxide (CO) can be rapidly performed in the emergency department setting by a reliable method that closely approximates carboxyhemoglobin. This method is helpful in the immediate determination of CO exposure for individual patients, but could serve as a valuable triage aid when large groups of patients are suspected of CO exposure. Serial CO determinations can be obtained during oxygen treatment to monitor for improvements without painful needle punctures and needless consumption of professional time and expense.
