Acute Salicylate Toxicity, Mechanical Ventilation, and Hemodialysis

Background: Salicylates are common substances that can be purchased over the counter. They are readily available, and in the setting of an overdose, can be fatal [1]. Initially, as salicylates are metabolized, they can induce a respiratory alklalosis. This is then followed by an anion gap metabolic acidosis. Due to the metabolic derangements induced by … Continue reading Acute Salicylate Toxicity, Mechanical Ventilation, and Hemodialysis
