Regarding carbon monoxide poisoning, the wrong statement

A
Oxygen dissociation curve shifted to right
B
Oxygen dissociation curve shifted to left
C
COHb is formed
D
Hyperbaric oxygen can be used
High-Yield Explanation
Since Hb has more affinity to CO than oxygen, it results in anaemic hypoxia. PO2 remain normal as it is the dissolved form. Hb-O2 dissociation curve shifts to left. Treatment for CO poisoning is by hyperbaric oxygen. But 95% O2 + 5% CO2 can also be used. CO is a gaseous vasodilator.
