Objectives Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is associated with oxidative stress. A potential marker of oxidative damage is carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) which is the product of the reaction between carbon monoxide and haemoglobin and is routinely assessed on blood gas analysis. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that higher COHb levels woul...
