CPTC International Cyanide Antidote Database
(I-CAD)
Purpose of I-CAD | Updates to I-CAD | Legal Disclaimer | More Information
Purpose of I-CADInformation in the CPTC International Cyanide Antidote Database (I-CAD) was collected in collaboration with Yale University Occupational Medicine and Jonathan Borak & Company, Inc., under the supervision for Dr. Jonathan Borak, MD, DABT.. “This database was first developed to assist corporate medical directors and others responsible for ensuring the safety of workers in multinational companies,” said Dr. Borak. “It can be very difficult to keep track of the cyanide antidotes and treatment protocols that differ from country to country. Over the last few years, we have contacted nearly all of the world’s poison control centers and numerous universities, pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors, most of them multiple times.” The CPTC I-CAD information and data are not to be used as recommended treatment protocols, guidelines, or standards. CPTC recommends that reviewers of the I-CAD seek appropriate local medical and pharmaceutical authorities for recommended treatments and antidote guidelines and standards in their respective communities. Future updates will include contact information for toxicologists and poisoning specialists in individual countries. Updates to I-CADPlease note that the information in the CPTC I-CAD is an ongoing data listing, and some information may be outdated. Please refer to the local country contact for the most up-to-date information. In an effort to keep the CPTC I-CAD up-to-date and current, CPTC requests that appropriate agencies, organizations, associations, and societies submit current information. CPTC further requests that appropriate agencies, organizations, associations, and societies complete the "CPTC I-CAD Questionnaire" (Word format or PDF format) and submit this form to CPTC Headquarters for I-CAD additions and updates. Please note that for international purposes, the CPTC I-CAD System information is provided in the English language only.
