Limitation of the Vitros dry-slide technique in measuring high concentrations of salicylate in plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linearity of the Vitros dry-slide method for plasma salicylate was assessed in two ways: serial concentrations of sodium salicylate were added to fresh lithium heparin plasma, and the salicylate was determined both neat and in dilution. Vitros salicylate results submitted to the Heathcontrol External Quality Assessment Scheme were compared to the spike value. Similar loss of linearity was observed in both cases. Serious salicylate overdosage requiring specific clinical treatment may have been underestimated.

متن کاملMeasuring plasma salicylate concentrations in all patients with drug overdose or altered consciousness: is it necessary?
BACKGROUND Salicylate self poisoning is potentially fatal. Plasma salicylate concentrations can be used to guide management when taken in the context of clinical features of toxicity and acid base status. Previous studies in the USA and Hong Kong have shown that routine measurement of plasma salicylate concentrations in all overdose patients is inappropriate, but there have been no previous stu...
