 | | Treatment of children affected with cyanide intoxication must be individualized and is based upon their body weight and hemoglobin concentration. | | | Alternative methods of treating cyanide intoxication are used in other countries. | | | Animal studies are of little help, as different species have widely different sensitivities to cyanide: it is quite possible that there is also a considerable range of sensitivity among human individuals. |

| | Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to hydrogen cyanide, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks. | | | This guideline summarizes pertinent information about hydrogen cyanide for workers and employers as well as for physicians, industrial hygienists, and other occupational safety and health professionals who may need such information to conduct effective occupational safety and health programs. | | | If large amounts of cyanide have been absorbed, collapse is usually instantaneous; unconsciousness; often with convulsions, is followed almost immediately by death [Hathaway et al. |

| | However, experiments in rats have shown that treatment with cyanide antidotes, as well as with N-acetylcysteine can be effective. | | | The cyanide concentrations of the unconscious men on admission to the hospital were 3.1, 3.5, and 2.8 mg/L (Peden et a1., 1986) | | | General agreement exists in the importance of life supportive procedures, but although cyanide antidotes were discovered 100 years ago (Pedigo, 1888) and have been used in medical practice more than 50 years ago (Chen et a1., 1954), the ideal cyanide antidote has not yet been discovered. |

| | In patients with chronic sublethal exposure to cyanide, a number of complications have been noted, including peripheral demyelination of the nerves, resulting in neuropathies. | | | Persons who smoke tobacco have a mean blood cyanide level of 0.4 mcg/mL, which is 2.5 times greater than the level in persons who do not smoke. | | | Patients may experience dyspnea, chest pain, headache, dizziness, and vomiting. |

| | Because of this a syllabus for training of first aiders in the treatment of cyanide poisoning was developed, mentioning the use of amyl nitrate ampoules and intravenous dicobalt edetate (Kelocyanor) as antidotes. | | | Its occupational medical department has more practical experience of treating cyanide poisoning than any other organisation in the country, so we had discussions with the company to establish a consensus view. | | | There is a great deal of anecdotal evidence of the value of oxygen and the experience of most occupational physicians is that the majority of victims of mild to moderate cyanide poisoning improve rapidly when treated with oxygen alone. |

| | Cyanide poisoning is treated with specific antidotes and supportive medical care in a hospital setting. | | | Cyanide is released from natural substances in some foods and in certain plants such as cassava. | | | Cyanide is more harmful to the heart and brain than to other organs because the heart and brain use a lot of oxygen. |
