title: Management of salicylate toxicity.
abstract: Salicylate intoxication remains a commonly encountered problem. Early measures to prevent drug absorption, along with alkaline diuresis of the drug, are essential to successful management. If initial therapy fails to produce a response or if the clinical condition rapidly deteriorates, the patient should be treated aggressively with prompt hemodialysis.
