Nitrites cyanide poisoning treated with

Combined intoxications of carbon monoxide and cyanide should not be treated with the nitrites found in cyanide antidote kits. These nitrites are used to create methemoglobinemia, which will exacerbate carbon monoxide poisoning by further reducing the ability of the blood to deliver oxygen to body tissue. 

Cyanide poisoning is treated with attention to airway and cardiopulmonary management. Cyanide poisoning is treated with a specific antidote of amyl nitrite perles, sodium nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate. 

Remove employee from exposure. Immediately flush eyes with water and wash skin with soap or mild detergent and water. If AN has been swallowed, and person is conscious, induce vomiting. Give artificial resuscitation if indicated. More severe cases, such as those associated with loss of consciousness, may be treated by the intravenous administration of sodium nitrite, followed by sodium thiosulfate, although this is not as effective for acrylonitrile poisoning as for inorganic cyanide poisoning.
