The prosecution asked to introduce new evidence regarding carbon monoxide evidence in George Floyd's blood in the trial of Derek Chauvin.

[@christheprophet6583]

This is complete nonsense. It happened in broad daylight and we are now talking about carbon monoxide. Only in America!

No actually, in any country where a defendant has the right to a trial by a jury of their peers.

[@Irish_1916]

@@512-m7f Yes you have a right to a jury of your peers. But what's nonsense about this is that the defense is trying to suggest Mr. Floyd died because of carbon monoxide poisoning. FFS his mouth wasn't around the exhaust of the car

[@TheSAD999]

@@Irish_1916 they were not suggesting that at all. Fowler in his testimony said he floyd could possibly have had higher levels of CO because of his positioning. They asked him if he thinks it contributed to the death and he said no. But at that moment there was no known record to the court of his levels. The new evidence said he had 1.5% carbon monoxide. Which would be at the normal range. What the judge blocked was questioning tobin using this evidence during tobin's rebuttle.

[@ilmostro16]

It seems unlikely and nonsensical, but the constitutional job of the defense is to find any way to sow doubt in the minds of the jury, doubt that it was Derek’s knee that caused death. Because in the end, to find Derek guilty, should be beyond a reasonable doubt. I can’t imagine the jury will buy the carbon monoxide argument though, but the defense is just doing their job. And this is a good thing and why America has one of the best legal systems because someday you or I might need a defense like this.

[@ajwysopal]

This atypical case [11] is notable in that it exemplifies the truth that fatal exposure to vehicle exhaust is not always associated with COHb 50 %; rarely, it can be considerably lower. The case also highlights one of the contentious issues surrounding the use of CO-oximetry postmortem, namely the potential for MetHb interference in COHb measurement. A 28-year-old man was found dead in his car many hours after going missing. Suicidal intent was assumed by the finding of a garden hose taped to the exhaust pipe that had delivered exhaust fumes into the cab of the closed vehicle. At autopsy 5.5 days later blood was sampled for COHb measurement by CO-oximetry to confirm carbon monoxide poisoning. The CO-oximeter used (IL 682) measures at six wavelengths. Results of this initial testing revealed that COHb was, surprisingly, not increased (0.6 %), but MetHb was severely increased (56.3 %). O2Hb and HHb were 12.2 % and 30.9 % respectively, and total hemoglobin was within normal healthy limits (13.8 g/dL). It is routine practice at the laboratory where this analysis was done to repeat COHb measurement in cases of potential carbon monoxide poisoning - using a different technique - if CO-oximetry reveals MetHb 30 %. This practice is based on the assumption that increased levels of MetHb can cause falsely low COHb CO-oximetry values. On confirmatory testing using a reference gas chromatography assay, it was established that the “true” COHb value was 18.6 %, much higher than the CO-oximetry result - confirming carbon monoxide intoxication - but not sufficiently high to conclude that carbon monoxide poisoning was the sole cause of death. After further laboratory testing, which included confirming the high MetHb by a spectrophotometric assay, the authors of this report concluded that death was due to hypoxia consequent on a combination of carbon monoxide intoxication and acquired severe methemoglobinemia. In support of this conclusion the authors postulate that the mechanism of severe methemoglobinemia in this case was inhalation of nitrogen oxides, known to be present in exhaust fumes.

[@IAmSuzyQ]

That's not why they didn't order carbon monoxide levels. They didn't think it was relevant because there was no reason to believe Mr. Floyd had been exposed to carbon monoxide. We would order such tests if a patient was brought in after being found in a running car in an enclosed area, or in a house when there were no other obvious causes for their low level of consciousness. Mr. Floyd's whereabouts were known prior to being brought in via ambulance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, as a cause of his presenting condition, wasn't even on the radar. If we had nothing to point to that would explain why he died, we'd start looking at causes outside the box, but there were likely causes known at the time of arrival so those causes were investigated.

Not true. All regular oximeters measure how saturated your hemoglobin. Carbon monoxide (CO) combines with hemoglobin 200 times stronger than oxygen (O2).
