Death due to salicylate poisoning in Ontario

M A McGuigan. CMAJ. .

Abstract

Acute salicylate poisoning may result in death. A review of seven fatal cases of salicylate poisoning in Ontario in 1984 showed that the average duration of hospitalization before death was 18.1 hours. Factors that contributed to death included failure to administer activated charcoal and sodium bicarbonate, to appreciate the need for hemodialysis and to consult with experts in toxicology.
