Özet

Sodium azide is used as a preservative in many laboratory settings. Clinical experience with treatment of sodium azide intoxication is very limited. Some publications reported severe side effects such as seizure, coma, respiratory depression, metabolic acidosis, arrhythmia and asystole. Major side effects were observed following doses of 10 mg/kg or over, the minimal lethal dosage.
