A 4-year-old child is en route to your facility via air transport after suffering significant smoke inhalation injury during a house fire. Which medication is most appropriate for treating cyanide poisoning in this pediatric patient?
Amyl nitrite
Sodium thiosulfate
Sodium nitrite
Hydroxocobalamin
Hydroxocobalamin is the correct choice for treating cyanide poisoning in a pediatric patient, particularly because it is approved for use in children and has a relatively safe profile. Sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate, and amyl nitrite can be used in cyanide poisoning cases, but they have more significant side effects and are less commonly recommended in pediatric cases.
