RESUMEN
ABSTRACT
Cyanide Poisoning
The cyanide, a salt resulting from the combination of hydrocyanic acid with several
compounds, is an exposure component in workers manufacturing plastics and synthetic
rubber, and in those cleaning gold and silver and in other workers. If it is absorbed, it
can cause poisoning, as well as metabolic acidosis, oxygen transport disturbances and
lactic acid increase. Its clinical manifestations and treatment depend on the portal of
entry, and its therapeutics will be aimed at the correction of metabolic acidosis and at
the administration of oxygen, hydroxycobalamin and EDTA di cobalto (Kelocyanor).
