Not precisely the same:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_cyanide - 107 ppm (human, 10 min)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide - 600 ppm (human, 30 min)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide - 4000 ppm (human, 30 min)

These are "LCLo" values from the databoxes on those pages. More easily comparable numbers may be around somewhere.

Hydrogen cyanide has the bonus of being mostly odorless too. Whereas hydrogen sulfide is distinctly bad smelling.
