PY - 2016 T2 - Critical Care Emergency Medicine, 2e AB - Salicylates have been used since the 19th century.1 Today, salicylates are used therapeutically throughout the world. The most commonly encountered salicylate is acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Other medications include the liniment methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) and bismuth subsalicylate, the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol. Because salicylates are ubiquitous, there is great potential for toxicity, intentional or accidental. In 2012, there were about 19,000 aspirin-alone exposures reported and about 1,500 aspirin coingestions reported to the National Poison Data System.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/12 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1135703485 ER -
