Abstract

Methemoglobin (MetHb) is a physiological blood component that performs protective functions and
neutralizes the endogenous hydrocyanic acid, hydrogen sulfide and other poisons. MetHb is slowly formed
in the blood, its surplus is constantly restored while the content in blood remains low.
The spectrophotometric method has been used to measure the methemoglobin concentration in 72 traumatic
subdural and epidural hematomas of various prescriptions. Based on the data obtained, the limitation of
subdural and epidural hematomas has been determined by the methemoglobin concentration. The results are
recommended for use in the forensic expert examinations.
