Alcohol poisoning treatment
To determine an acute alcohol poisoning case, in 1987, the American Psychiatric Association issued four criteria:
In people who have finished drinking alcohol, have the smell of alcohol.
Behavioral changes such as unstable temperament, decreased ability to judge, reduced professional ability, sexual inhibition, hostile aggression.
At least one of the following signs: stuttering, loss of coordination, stumbling, eye contact, flushed face.
- There is no other mental entity.
Alcohol poisoning treatment:
Vitamin B1 is essential for patients with alcohol poisoning, and is used prior to glucose transmission, since vitamin B1 is a cofactor of the reciprocal metabolism of pyruvate (pyruvic acid) and glucose. Vitamin B1 participates in the Krebs cycle. Therefore, if glucose solution is administered in the absence of vitamin B1 (due to increase in redox reaction of alcohol), it will lead to increased pyruvate in the blood and in the brain and Pyruvate will be toxic to the brain. The krebs process does not work when vitamin B1 is deficient. The usual dose is 250-1000mg oral or intramuscular.
To reduce the toxins of alcohol, mild glucose levels are taken, and heavy intravenous fluids with glucose 5-10%.
Vitamin B6 helps to drink alcohol faster with the usual dose of 250-500mg, oral or intramuscular
If heavy use of naloxone to help liquor faster, especially in patients with acute alcohol poisoning Ethylic, the usual dose of 0.4 to 1.2mg (1-3 tubes), intravenously, each tube 0, 4mg, can be used 1-2 times, about 5 minutes apart.
