AB Salicylate  toxicity  causes  a  mixed  respiratory  alkalosis,  metabolic  alkalosis,  and  elevated  anion  gap  metabolic  acidosis.Chronically  intoxicated  patients  will  be  more  seriously  ill  at  lower  salicylate  concentrations  than  their  acutely  poisoned  counterparts.Pursue  hemodialysis  in  patients  with  refractory  acidosis,  pulmonary  edema,  renal  insufficiency,  and  altered  mental  status  or  seizure,  regardless  of  the  actual  serum  salicylate  level.Match  the  ventilation  rate  in  intubated  patients  with  severe  salicylate  poisoning  to  their  pre–intubation  minute  ventilation,  as  most  require  remarkably  high  rates  for  adequate  respiratory  compensation.
