Abstract

We performed a comparative study of analysis methods of Methemoglobin with a CO-Oximeter and an UV/Vis(SATO's Methd). The correlation coefficient of two method for the MetHb% determinations was estimated to be 0.9575. The concentrations of MetHb on most of the dead burn victims(87%) were shown below 10%. The concentrations of COHb were rang between 15% and 85%.
