  • Title: [Cyanide poisoning].
    Author: Møller S, Hemmingsen C.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2003 Jun 16; 165(25):2579-80. PubMed ID: 12854272.
    Abstract:
    Cyanide is a toxic compound which inhibits the cellular utilization of oxygen. A number of substances can give rise to cyanide intoxication, which in some cases may have a delayed onset. The symptoms are non-specific and reflect cellular hypoxia. Several strategies may be employed in the treatment. Hydroxycobalamine is an effective and non-toxic antidote. On the basis of a case story, the toxicology, symptoms and treatment of cyanide poisoning are discussed.
