Jan Aaseth here are the links which shows us about the details you have requested in the question

Article Cyanide intoxication as part of smoke inhalation - a review ...

Article Toxic smoke inhalation: Cyanide poisoning in fire victims

Hope so these will be useful and answers your question and really good to see questions related to blood cyanide analysis which I was searching online on RG

Jan Aaseth
