Intoxicación por cianuro en personas expuestas a las vertientes de ríos en zonas mineras

Abstract

This project covers through the investigation of articles and books on the problem of cyanide, with which an explanation is given about the forms of contamination of cyanide through mining, which has affected rivers and rivers for many years. land, in addition to this, also the contamination that it causes at the level of the organism when people are poisoned with cyanide either by contact with the earth, rivers or food contaminated with this mineral, as it affects biochemically, the clinic of the intoxicated patient and the corresponding treatment with hydroxycobalamin as a first-line drug. At the level of Ecuador, there are no precise clinical parameters to determine cyanide levels in the blood, since it is filtered by the kidneys and is rapidly eliminated in the urine, so it could give false negatives, but for this, main attention must be paid in the signs and symptoms that it causes in addition to the effects it causes, such as hypoxia and hyperlactatemia as the main factors to corroborate cyanide poisoning
