The supportive treatment of aspirin poisoning may include gastric lavage (to prevent the further absorption of salicylate), fluid replenishment (to offset the dehydration and oliguria), alcohol and water sponging (to combat the hyperthermia), the administration of vitamin K (to prevent possible hemorrhage), sodium bicarbonate administration (to combat acidosis) and, in extreme cases, peritoneal dialysis and exchange transfusion. 

Fluid retention with oliguria in the presence of adequate intravascular fluid volume has been observed in children and is presumably related to the toxic effects of prolonged exposure of the kidney to excessive salicylate concentrations. In some reported cases salicylate poisoning had been present unrecognized for several days.
