Symptoms caused by acetylsalicylic acid: with light intoxication - nausea, vomiting, gastralgia, dizziness, ringing in the ears; severe intoxication - inhibition, drowsiness, collapse, convulsions; bronchospasm, shortness of breath, anuria, bleeding.
Initially, central / hyperventilation of the lungs leads to respiratory alkalosis (shortness of breath, suffocation, cyanosis, sweating). As the intoxication progresses paralysis of respiration- and dissociation of oxidative phosphorylation cause respiratory acidosis.
Symptoms caused by paracetamol: during the first 24 hours after admission - pallor toskin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain; metabolic disorder glucose, metabolic acidosis. Symptoms of liver dysfunction may appear 12-48 hours after an overdose. In severe intoxication - hepatic deficiency with progressive encephalopathy, coma, death; acute, renal insufficiency with tubular necrosis (including in the absence of severe lesions liver); arrhythmia, pancreatitis.
Chronic overdose: symptoms caused by acetylsalicylic acid: when long-term use - dizziness, headache, visual impairment, tinnitus, decreased aggregation of platelets, hypocoagulation, hemorrhagic syndrome (nasal bleeding) bleeding gums, purpura and others), kidney damage with papillary necrosis, deafness.
Symptoms caused by paracetamol: with long-term admission in high doses possibly hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic action (renal colic, Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, methemoglobinemia, pancytopenia).
Hepatotoxic effect in adults is manifested when taking 10 g or more.
Treatment: constant monitoring of changes in the parameters of the acid-base state (CBS) and electrolyte balance; depending on the state of metabolism - the introduction sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate or sodium lactate. Increasing reserve alkalinity increases the excretion of acetylsalicylic acid due to alkalinization of urine.
If there is liver damage, donators are injected SH-r.пппп and precursors of synthesis glutathione - methionine for 8-9 hours after an overdose and acetylcysteine - in for 8 hours. The need for additional therapeutic (further introduction of methionine, intravenous injection of acetylcysteine) is determined depending on the concentration of paracetamol in the blood, and also on the time passed after its reception.
