Abstract :
Carboxyhemoglobin is a substance formed due to the bonding of carbon
monoxide with haemoglobin, which results in a lack of oxygen in the body,
causing polycythemia which leads to an increase in blood hematocrit. motorized.
This research method uses quantitative. The subjects of this study amounted
to 30 people where the subjects were divided into 2 categories, namely smokers and
motorcyclists. Data analysis using Shapiro Wilk and Rank Spearman
Based on the research, it was found that the average COHb level was 6.06
while the average hematocrit in the normal range obtained p values > 0.05 for
COHb 0.827, 0.836 and 0.827 while the hematocrit was 0.827, 0.836 and 0.827.
This study concludes that there is no relationship between
carboxyhemoglobin levels and hematocrit levels in final year students who are
exposed to carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke and motor vehicle fumes.
