Autopsy prosectors examining individuals with cyanide poisoning are at risk for occupational cyanide exposure. No protective autopsy precautions to mitigate this risk have been published. We report an autopsy on an individual with cyanide poisoning where the procedure was performed in a negatively pressured isolation room and the stomach was opened under a biosafety cabinet hood. None of the three autopsy prosectors had measurable cyanide in pre or post procedure blood specimens. We recommend that similar precautions be taken in all autopsies where cyanide is suspected as a possible cause of death.
检查氰化物中毒个体的尸体解剖病理学家面临职业性氰化物暴露风险。尚未发表减轻这种风险的保护性尸体解剖预防措施。我们报告了一例氰化物中毒个体的尸体解剖，该解剖在负压隔离室进行，且在生物安全柜罩下打开胃。三名尸体解剖病理学家在解剖前或解剖后的血液样本中均未检测到可测量的氰化物。我们建议，在所有怀疑氰化物可能是死因的尸体解剖中都采取类似的预防措施。
