Resumen de Salicylates
Salicylate poisoning is potentially serious, particularly if the diagnosis or presentation is delayed, the patient is elderly (>70 years of age), comatose or has a fever, or if they develop non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema or acidaemia. Urine alkalinization and haemodialysis increase salicylate elimination and should be used in patients with moderate or severe poisoning, respectively.
