Abstract
Acute cyanide toxicity is very rare but it is almost always associated with fatal outcomes. Here we describe the case of a 43-year-old healthy male who worked in a jewelry factory and presented with acute cyanide toxicity. He was successfully managed with all the supportive measures and an appropriate antidote kit containing amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate. We also describe the relevant importance of knowing the history of easy access to cyanide as a part of the patient's profession, the critical nature of the patient at presentation, as well as the efforts needed to procure the antidote.
