Cyanide poisoning in inhalation injuries [PDF]
Cyanide gas forms during the combustion of synthetic polymers and should be considered in patients presenting with inhalation injuries. A persistently high lactate following adequate resuscitation may be an indicator of cyanide exposure.

Redirecting Intermediary Metabolism to Counteract Cyanide Poisoning. [PDF]
Cyanide is coined “the classic metabolic poison”; however, FDA‐approved cyanide chelators do not counteract cyanide's metabolic damage. Here, we review the mechanisms of cyanide toxicity, with a focus on intermediary metabolism. We present the theory that, within the innate plasticity of the metabolome, there may reside metabolic pathways that can ...

Occupational cyanide poisoning. [PDF]
Cyanide poisoning has existed for centuries. In most cases, cyanide is combined with other toxic substances; for example with carbon monoxide in fire smoke. Cases of pure cyanide poisoning are rare, and usually due to accidental exposure. Their treatment is based on oxygenation and the infusion of hydroxocobalamin.

Successful treatment by exchange transfusion of a young infant with sodium nitroprusside poisoning [PDF]
Although sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is often used in pediatric intensive care units, cyanide toxicity can occur after SNP treatment. To treat SNP-induced cyanide poisoning, antidotes such as amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate, and ...

Plasmapheresis for the management of acute cyanide poisoning: A case report and review of literature [PDF]
In case of mild to moderate cyanide poisoning, especially when standard antidote kits are not readily available, plasmapheresis can be utilized as an alternative option alongside supportive measures.

Cyanide intoxication as part of smoke inhalation - a review on diagnosis and treatment from the emergency perspective [PDF]
This paper reviews the current literature on smoke inhalation injuries with special attention to the effects of hydrogen cyanide. It is assumed that cyanide poisoning is still an overlooked diagnosis in fire victims.

Live reef fish displaying physiological evidence of cyanide poisoning are still traded in the EU marine aquarium industry [PDF]
The illegal use of cyanide poisoning to supply live reef fish to several markets is one of the main threats to coral reefs conservation in the Indo-Pacific.
