The carbon monoxide re-breathing method can underestimate Hbmass due to incomplete blood mixing
2013
Purpose
Hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) is commonly assessed using the CO re-breathing method with the subject in the seated position. This may lead to an underestimation of Hbmass as blood in lower extremity veins while seated may not be tagged with carbon monoxide (CO) during the re-breathing period.
