PY - 2014 T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e AB - Smoke inhalation victims may have concomitant carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning.Clinical signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are notoriously nonspecific and correlate poorly with carboxyhemoglobin values.Carbon monoxide poisoning should be considered for an illness affecting more than one member of a family or group from a common environment.Cyanide poisoning is marked by rapid onset of central nervous system and cardiovascular dysfunction.Key laboratory features of cyanide poisoning include marked acidemia, striking lactate elevation, and a diminished arterial–venous O2 difference.Hydroxycobalamin is the antidote of choice for cyanide poisoning and early administration may be life saving.
