| Descripción: | Nitrobenzene poisoning is a rare but fatal condition. It causes methaemoglobinemia (Fe 3+) and reduces oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells (RBC). Cyanosis develops and aerobic oxygenation is hampered. Though intravenous methylene blue is the specific antidote it is not available commonly. Here we are reporting two cases of acute nitrobenzene poisoning and the role of methylene blue to save life. Key words: methylene blue; nitrobenzene DOI: 10.4038/slja.v18i2.1319Sri Lankan Journal of Anaesthesiology 18(2): 91-93 (2010) |
