Importance: The US and Canada currently have no formal published nationwide guidelines for specialists in poison information or emergency departments for the management of acetaminophen [paracetamol] poisoning, resulting in significant variability in management.
Question: What is the appropriate management of acetaminophen poisoning after acute or repeated ingestion?
Findings: This qualitative study used an expert-derived consensus according to a modified Delphi process to provide explicit clinical guidance on the assessment, management, and treatment of acetaminophen poisoning.
Meaning: These recommendations provide a rationale for current approaches to the management of acetaminophen poisoning.
