Treatment


Removal of the victim from the environment and decontamination should occur first. Treatment for asphyxiants is based primarily on providing rest, oxygen, and assisted ventilation and drugs that bind with cyanide. Inhaled Amyl nitrite, intravenous sodium nitrite, and intravenous sodium thiosulfate, may be used for the treatment of asphyxiants.
