Cyanide (Cyanide)

Cyanide is any of the known poisonous salts of hydrocyanic acid. Cyanides bind to tissue enzymes responsible for cellular respiration, suppressing their activity, so death from them can occur very quickly; the person loses consciousness, after which he develops convulsions and death occurs. When inhaling hydrocyanic acid fumes, death occurs within one minute. Ingestion of sodium or potassium cyanide can also cause death in a person within minutes. The patient's life can only be saved by the immediate use of amyl nitrite and sodium thiosulfate or dicobalt editate. All cyanides have a bitter almond odor.

Cyanide is a toxic chemical that can cause death if ingested. It belongs to a class of toxic substances called cyanides, which are salts of hydrocyanic acid.

Cyanides are associated with enzymes that are responsible for cellular respiration. When cyanide binds, it inhibits enzyme activity and starves cells of oxygen. This can lead to rapid death because the cells cannot get enough oxygen to function.

Cyanide can enter the body in a variety of ways, including inhaling cyanide vapor, ingesting cyanide in the form of a salt (sodium or potassium cyanide), or ingesting it in the mouth. All of these methods can lead to rapid death.

To save a life in case of cyanide poisoning, it is necessary to immediately use special agents, such as amyl nitrite and sodium thiosulfate or dicobalt editate, which can quickly neutralize cyanide in the body.

All cyanides have a bitter almond odor, which is one way to detect cyanide poisoning. If you suspect someone is at risk from cyanide poisoning, seek medical attention immediately.

Overall, cyanide is a very dangerous substance that can cause death quickly and without warning. Therefore, it is important to be careful and avoid contact with any sources of cyanide.

Cyanide intoxication is an acute chemical poisoning with cyanides that occurs as a result of the poison entering the body through the respiratory system, digestive tract or skin.

Cyanide is any organic cyanide-related base having a molecule consisting of carbon with four oxygen atoms. With a few additional hydrophilic groups, these compounds are too soluble to be released in the free state, but when administered carefully they bind reversibly with hemoglobin, releasing free oxygen. This form of therapy is still used to treat "cyanide blood" in isolated settings after acute cyanide poisoning or carbon monoxide poisoning, especially in infants. O2 deficiency and carbon dioxide accumulation occur due to ineffective hemoglobin. These injections cause a sharp hyper
