MANCIPE, LILIANA C.; FERNANDEZ A., DIANA C. e FERNANDEZ A., DANIEL G.. ACETAMINOPHEN POISONING. rev.fac.med [online]. 2010, vol.18, n.2, pp.221-227. ISSN 0121-5256.
Acetaminophen is one of the most widely used analgesics in the world. Its good safety profile, efficacy and the fact that it is on the shelf medicine, makes the formulation of this drug very common in both adult and children. Acetaminophen poisoning is a frequent motive of consultation in the emergency department, so that doctors in these areas must have a clear understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of this type of poisoning. In this article we make an update on the diagnosis and treatment of acetaminophen-poisoned patients.
