What is the effect of cyanide on the body?

In humans, cyanide combines with the ferric ion in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, preventing electron transport in the cytochrome system and bringing oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production to a halt. The inhibition of oxidative metabolism puts increased demands on anaerobic glycolysis, which results in lactic acid production and may produce severe acid-base imbalance. The CNS is particularly sensitive to the toxic effects of cyanide, and exposure to hydrogen cyanide generally produces symptoms within a short period of time.

How is hydrogen cyanide made?

Hydrogen cyanide is manufactured by oxidation of ammonia- methane mixtures under controlled conditions and by the catalytic decomposition of formamide. It may be generated by treating cyanide salts with acid, and it is a combustion by-product of nitrogen-containing materials such as wool, silk, and plastics. It is also produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of nitriles and related chemicals. Hydrogen cyanide gas is a by-product of coke-oven and blast-furnace operations.

Is hydrogen cyanide a liquid?

At temperatures below 78ºF, hydrogen cyanide is a colorless or pale-blue liquid (hydrocyanic acid); at higher temperatures, it is a colorless gas. Hydrogen cyanide is very volatile, producing potentially lethal concentrations at room temperature. The vapor is flammable and potentially explosive. Hydrogen cyanide has a faint, bitter almond odor and a bitter, burning taste. It is soluble in water and is often used as a 96% aqueous solution.

Do you need decontamination for hydrogen cyanide?

Patients exposed only to hydrogen cyanide gas who have no eye irritation do not need decontamination. They may be transferred immediately to the Support Zone. Other patients will require decontamination as described below.

Can cyanide be contaminated?

Hospital personnel in an enclosed area can be secondarily contaminated by vapor off- gassing from heavily soaked clothing or skin, or from toxic vomitus. Avoid dermal contact with cyanide-contaminated patients or with gastric contents of patients who may have ingested cyanide-containing materials, Patients do not pose secondary contamination risks after contaminated clothing is removed and the skin is washed.

Can you transfer a patient exposed to hydrogen cyanide to the critical care area?

Previously decontaminated patients and patients exposed only to hydrogen cyanide gas who have no skin or eye irritation may be transferred immediately to the Critical Care Area. Other patients require decontamination as described below.

Should cyanide be admitted to the intensive care unit?

Consider hospitalizing patients who have histories of significant exposure and are symptomatic. Whenever infusions from the cyanide antidote kit are used, the patient should be admitted to the intensive care unit
