Fatal outcome from administration of a salt emetic
Postgrad Med J.
1974 Aug.
Abstract
A case is described of the death of a young female patient following the administration of a salt emetic after a relatively minor overdose of a proprietary analgesic containing aspirin. It is suggested that death occurred as a direct consequence of the salt ingestion and that the dangers of this method of inducing emesis should be more widely appreciated.
