Nitroprusside Cyanide Toxicity is due to the cyanide groups released from metabolism of the nitroprusside molecule. After gaining an electron from the iron moiety of hemoglobin, the sodium nitroprusside produces an unstable radical and methemoglobin.

Nitroprusside: Nitroprusside is metabolized to cyanide, and it can lead to cyanide toxicity. Toxicity can appear as little as four hours after initiation of infusion. Potential risk factors for the development of toxicity are underlying renal impairment, prolonged treatment period (over 48 hours), and the utilization of a higher dose.

Cyanide toxicity is a rare complication of sodium nitroprusside that can be difficult to diagnose in critically ill patients. We describe a case of cyanide toxicity after cardiac surgery that presented as lactic acidosis after discontinuation of nitroprusside.
