A 45 year old male presents to the ER after passing out at work. He works in a factory that produces a lot of toxic gases. He gained consciousness upon arrival and reported symptoms of chest tightness/pain, headache, nausea, shortness of breath and weakness. Laboratory blood toxicology tests were conducted and high levels of cyanide were found. How would cyanide impact the ETC? Think about the site of inhibition for clues.
