Salicylate Poisoning + EXTRIP Hemodialysis Indication

Salicylate poisoning with the EXTRIP (Juurlink 2015) hemodialysis indication: names which extracorporeal-treatment criterion is met on the entered data.

Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.

Example

Serum salicylate level
110 mg/dL or mmol/L
Level units
mg/dL
Poisoning type
Acute

Result: Hemodialysis recommended; salicylate 110 mg/dL exceeds the 100 mg/dL acute threshold.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Recommended
Salicylate over 100 mg/dL acute (or over 90 with impaired kidneys), altered mental status, new hypoxemia requiring oxygen, or arterial pH 7.20 or below.
Suggested
Standard therapy (fluids, urinary alkalinization) failing or unavailable.
Modality
Intermittent hemodialysis is the preferred modality.
Excluded
The Done nomogram is not used (it misclassifies chronic and post-acute poisoning).
