Overdosage of nitroprusside can be manifested as excessive hypotension or cyanide toxicity or as thiocyanate toxicity. In moderate cases
Page 18. Nitroprusside Induced Cyanide Toxicity. Molecule: 5 cyanide radicals, gradually released, occasionally produce cyanide or thiocyanate toxicity.
Cyanide and nitroprusside toxicity Cyanide toxicity causes lactic acidosis by disabling the electron transport chain of oxidative
Overdosage of nitroprusside can be manifested as excessive hypotension or cyanide toxicity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS] or as thiocyanate toxicity [see
So, nitroprusside can only be administered no more than H why? cause cyanide toxicity, how does it happen? well nitroprusside breakdown
Nitroprusside Cyanide Toxicity is due to the cyanide groups released from metabolism of the nitroprusside molecule. After gaining an electron from the iron moiety of hemoglobin, the sodium nitroprusside produces an unstable radical and methemoglobin.
Nitroprusside: Nitroprusside is metabolized to cyanide, and it can lead to cyanide toxicity. Toxicity can appear as little as four hours after initiation of infusion. Potential risk factors for the development of toxicity are underlying renal impairment, prolonged treatment period (over 48 hours), and the utilization of a higher dose.
Hydralazine: compensatory tachycardia, headache, angina, SLE-like symptoms (in slow acetylators), fluid retention. Nitroprusside: Nitroprusside is metabolized to cyanide, and it can lead to cyanide toxicity. Toxicity can appear as little as four hours after initiation of infusion.
Warnings: Excessive hypotension and cyanide toxicity are significant risks of nitroprusside Treatment of cyanide toxicity: Discontinue sodium nitroprusside
