Elimination De L'Interference Des Salicyles Dans Le Dosage U. V. Du Paracetamol Sanguin

Abstract Authors propose a simple method for U. V. determination of blood paracetamol in emergency toxicology. First, diethy1-ether extraction allows salicylate elimination (especially salicylic acid which is the most frequently used in therapy). Secondly paracetamol is extracted by ethyl-acetate and measured by U. V. spectrophotometry at 244 nm. The method provides good repeta-bility (C V=3.3 %) and reproducibility (C V u 4.3 %) with a detection limit of 2 mg L−1 in plasma.
