to the weekend. Their daughter had gone out to spend the

week-end with her friends. The couple had been snowed in at

their house until the snowplows cleared the roads. They had

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---


plenty of food and were kept warm by a furnace and blankets.

On reaching home after two days, their daughter noticed that

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

they both were complaining of bad headaches, confusion,

fatigue, and some nausea. On arrival to an emergency

department, both patients were afebrile with normal vital

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


signs and O2 saturation of 99 percent on 2 L of O2 by nasal

cannula. Their lips appeared to be very red. Both patients were

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

slightly confused but otherwise oriented. The physical

examinations were within normal limits.

Carboxyhemoglobin levels were drawn and were elevated.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


What is most likely cause of these patients' symptoms?
