AB Smoke  inhalation  victims  may  have  concomitant  carbon  monoxide  and  cyanide  poisoning.Clinical  signs  and  symptoms  of  carbon  monoxide  poisoning  are  notoriously  nonspecific  and  may  not  correlate  with  carboxyhemoglobin  values.Carbon  monoxide  poisoning  should  be  considered  for  an  illness  affecting  more  than  one  member  of  a  family  or  group  from  a  common  environment.Cyanide  poisoning  is  marked  by  rapid  onset  of  central  nervous  system  and  cardiovascular  dysfunction.Key  laboratory  features  of  cyanide  poisoning  are  marked  acidemia,  striking  lactate  elevation,  and  a  diminished  arterial–venous  O2  difference.Hydroxycobalamin  is  the  antidote  of  choice  for  cyanide  poisoning  and  early  administration  may  be  lifesaving.
