Summary Introduction
Case summary:
A person intakes the poison cyanide. He exhibits difficulty in breathing.
Characters in the case:
A patient, who visits the clinic for treatment after cyanide intake.
Adequate information:
The intake of poison cyanide has blocked the electron transport chain. The patient exhibits symptoms like suffocation.
To determine:
To determine whether the level of oxygen in the patient’s body after intake of poison cyanide would be normal, elevated, or decreased.

Students have asked these similar questions
Is it possible for someone poisoned with cyanide to benefit from artificial respiration or oxygenation (i.e., giving them oxygen)? Explain why or why
Anemia is characterized by low hemoglobin levels or a reduced number of red blood cells (both of which transport oxygen to cells). A common symptom of anemia is tiredness. Please do not copy answers from another website/source.
a) Briefly explain what the consequences are of anemia on cellular energy production.
b) Suggest at least one other cellular effect of anemia and a brief explanation of this effect.
A 48-year-old woman with a 3-day history of
nausea and vomiting has deep sighing
respiration and her breath smells sweet.
The receiving physician's clinical diagnosis
is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Further
investigations revealed: plasma glucose is
very high (often>40 mmol/L), along with
raised urea and creatinine. With the patient's
condition, discuss the biochemistry why she
became hypovolemic?

- Absorbed from the intestines into the blood, nitrites (NO2-) interact with the hemoglobin of the blood and block its respiratory function, turning part of the hemoglobin (HbFe2+) into methemoglobin (HbFe3+), unable to transfer oxygen from the lungs to tissues. With the formation of a large amount of methemoglobin, oxygen starvation of tissues occurs, which can cause damage to the central nervous system.10 to 20 % - of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - asymptomatic cyanosis,20 to 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - hypoxia develop,> 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - the person will die.The body weight of the average person is 60 kg.
