INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Seacalphyx (Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate injection BP), is
indicated for sequential use with sodium
nitrite for the treatment of acute cyanide poisoning that is judged to
be life-threatening. When the
diagnosis of cyanide poisoning is uncertain, the potential risks
associated with Seacalphyx, should be
carefully weighed against the potential benefits, especially if the
patient is not in extremis.
IDENTIFYING PATIENTS WITH CYANIDE POISONING
Cyanide poisoning may result from inhalation, ingestion, or dermal
exposure to various cyanide-
containing compounds, including smoke from closed-space fires. Sources
of cyanide poisoning include
hydrogen cyanide and its salts, cyanogenic plants, aliphatic nitriles,
and prolonged exposure to sodium
nitroprusside.
The presence and extent of cyanide poisoning are often initially
unknown. There is no widely available,
rapid, confirmatory cyanide blood test. Treatment decisions must be
made on the basis of clinical history
and signs and symptoms of cyanide intoxication. If clinical suspicion
of cyanide poisoning is high,
sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate injection and Sodium Nitrite Injection
should be administered without
delay.
