Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how methyl salicylate levels in the blood change after ingestion, aiming to identify peak serum concentrations and factors influencing these levels.
- Researchers analyzed cases from the Hong Kong Poison Control Centre involving 41 patients, finding that the median time to peak concentration was 5.6 hours, with gastric aspiration and activated charcoal use being linked to lower peak levels.
- Results suggest that the peak concentration of serum salicylate occurs slower than previously thought, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring in patients after ingestion.
