Carboxyhemoglobin levels in preterm neonatal late-onset sepsis: to predict or not to predict

Conclusion:COHb levels increased at the beginning of LOS, decreasing in response to antibiotics. When used in conjunction with other sepsis biomarkers, the variation of COHb can be important in evaluating a LOS episode in preterm infants. COHb can be utilized as a quick, bedside approach for detecting LOS in preterm neonates in NICUs.
