Abstract
The data from our two patients indicates that gastrointestinal dialysis with repeated oral doses of activated charcoal may significantly enhance the elimination of overdoses of salicylate in young children. Limited experience precludes precise recommendations, but current evidence suggests that gastrointestinal dialysis should be evaluated further for treating pediatric salicylate intoxication.
