Cyanide nitrite-thiosulfate therapy

Chen KK, Rose CL. 1952. Nitrite and thiosulfate therapy in cyanide poisoning. J Am Med Assoc 149 113-119. [Pg.242]

Amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate are commercially available in standard doses in the Pasadena Cyanide Antidote Kit. This kit is not widely distributed in Department of Defense medical channels. No antidote kits are provided to naval personnel far forward. However, should a person be exposed to a lethal dose of the agent and not receive therapy immediately, death is certain. [Pg.114]

Cyanide poisoning. Empiric antidotal therapy with sodium thiosulfate (see p 505) and (if available) hydroxocobalamin (p 453) is recommended for patients with altered mental status, hypotension, or acidosis. Use of sodium nitrite is discouraged because it may cause hypotension and aggravate methemoglobinemia. [Pg.342]
