Abstract
We have related the red cell mass (RCM) in 47 hypoxic patients with COPD (mean PO2, 52.5 +/- 5.2 SD mmHg; mean PCO2, 51.7 +/- 6.7 mmHg; mean/FEV1, 0.6 +/- 0.2 L; mean FVC, 1.7 +/- 0.6 L) to their smoking habits and outpatient carboxyhemoglobin concentrations. The mean RCM was 42.5 +/- 8.0 ml/kg in the 31 patients who still smoked, significantly (p less than 0.01) higher than in the 16 who were currently nonsmokers (RCM, 29.7 +/- 4.4 ml/kg)....
