  1. ACUTE ALCOHOL INTOXICATION . www.anaesthesia.co.inanaesthesia.co.in@gmail.com

  2. “ drinking is a pause from thinking”

  3. Different alcohol poisonings. • Acute ethanol intoxication • Acute methanol poisoning. • Acute ethylene glycol poisoning. • Acute isopropyl alcohol poisoning

  4. Acute ethanol intoxication • Sources I. alcoholic drinks -beer (3.5-9%) -stout (4.2%) -wines (12.5-13.5%) -spirits (37-40%) -cider (5.5-8%) -sparkling or flavored alcoholic drinks II. non alcoholic beverages

  5. One unit = 8 gm of alcohol • One oz = 30ml • Proof =2*%ethanol by volume • One drink = 44ml of whiskey(80%proof),3-5oz wine or 12 oz beer. • BAC –blood alcohol conc. • 0.1%BAC =100 mg alcohol in 100ml blood.

  6. pharmacology • C2H5OH • Colorless, odourless liquid • M.Wt - 46 • Vd - 0.54 L/Kg • 1gm ethyl alcohol – 7.1 kcal energy

  7. Absorption • GIT ,20% in stomach,rest in small intestine • 80%-90% absorption within 30-60mins. • Absorption also depends on other factors • Females attain higher blood alcohol level. • Inhalation –pulmonary vascular bed.

  8. Distribution& elimination • Distributed to almost every tissue. peroxidase-catalase system Ethanol acetadehyde+NADH +NAD microsomal oxidase system acetate CO2+H2O acetyl coA

  9. 1st order to zero order kinetics at 5 mg/ 100mlBAC. • 100-125 mg/ kg /hr • BAC decreases by 15-25 mg /100ml/ hr. • 2-10% unchanged in urine. • Appreciable but insignificant amount in respiration.

  10. pathophysiology • GABA. Glutamate. • ↑NAD/NAD ratio. • ↑ketogenesis. • ↓gluconeogenesis • ↑glycogenolysis • Fluid & electrolyte imbalance.

  11. Stages of intoxication • BAC STAGES 0.01-0.05 sobriety 0.03-0.12 euphoria 0.09-0.25 excitement 0.18-0.30 confusion

  12. 0.27-0.4 stupour 0.35-0.5 coma 0.45+ DEATH

  13. Asscociated acute problems. • Alcoholic ketoacidosis. • Alcoholic hypoglycemia. • Fluid & electrolyte imbalance. • Wernicke’s encephalopathy.

  14. Acute effects on heart. • Acute GI efects. • Acute alcoholic myopathy. • Trauma • Associated other substance poisoining.

  15. Alcoholic ketoacidosis: • Dillon et al • High anion gap acidosis • Normal or low glucose level • Chronic alcoholics • Binge drinking wks before symptoms • Dehydration, starvation due to vomiting ,gastritis

  16. Alcohol poor food intake dehydration ↓ ↓ ↓ Acetaldehyde glycogenolysis ↑counter regulatory ↓ hormones Acetate ↓ ↓ ↓ ↑NADH/NAD ↑glucagon ratio ↓insulin ↓ • ↓gluconeogenesis ketogenesis

  17. Altered mental status • Kussumal breathing • Ketotic breath • Lab finding high anion gap acidosis ↑beta hydroxybutyrate:acetoacetate ↓insulin level • Exclude other causes of ↑A;G acidosis

  18. Alcoholic hypoglycemia • Chronic “street alcoholic” found unresponsive • Symptoms neuroglycopenic →confusion,fatigue,seizure, loss of consciousness→death autonomic responses → palpitation ,tremor , sweating • Signs pallor ,diaphoresis tachycardia,raised systolic B.P transient focal neurological signs

  19. Water and electrolytes disorders • “all alcoholics are dehydrated” is false. • Immediate ↑ in urine volume followed by ↑ADH. • Hydration also depends on -diet,nonalcoholic fluids,type of drinks -vomiting, diarrhea,infection • Water intoxication & hyponatremia in severe chronic alcoholics→seizure& altered sensorium • Central pontine mylenolysis

  20. Other electrolytes abnormalities • Hypomagnesemia • Hypophosphatemia • Hpokalemia • Hypocalcemia

  21. Wernicke-korsakoff’s syndrome • As high as 12.5% in alcoholics. • Major reversible cause of death. • If untreated 10-20% mortality rate. • Thiamine deficiency is the root cause. • Magnesium deficiency in thiamin resistant cases. • Clinical features global confusion ocular abnormalities ataxia

  22. Acute effect on heart • Direct negative inotropic effect & vasodilation. • PR & QT prolongation • Both supraventricular & venntricular arrythmia. • “holiday heart syndrome” • Various degree of heart block. • +ve correlation between and sudden cardiac death.

  23. Acute alcoholic myopathy • Acute muscle necrosis mainly in binge drinkers • Alcoholism is the most common cause of rhabdomyelisis • Raised CKMM,myoglobinuria, • Acute tubular necrosis→↑urea ,creatinine • Conservative management

  24. Acute gastrointestinal effect • Acute gastritis & esophagitis. • Epigastric distress and gastrointesinal bleeding. • Mallory-weiss tear. • Acute hepatitis & pancreatitis.

  25. Differential diagnosis in acutely intoxicated patient. • Toxic • Metabolic • Infectious diseases • Neurologic • Miscellaneous • Trauma

  26. Management • Airway • Breathing • Circulation • Intubate if poor gag reflex • Fingerstick glucose , iv dextrose • Thiamin 100 mg im/ iv stat. • magnesium

  27. 2 mg naloxone • Exclude other causes of intoxication • ABG • Osmolar gap. • 2Na+ + BUN/2.8 + Glu/18 + Eth/4.6 • Serum electrolytes • Anion gap. • Correct other electrolyte abnormalities • Dilantin • CT scan.

  28. Blood alcohol conc (BAC) • Enhanced elimination evacuation after 1 hr little benefit activated charcoal. fructose haemodialysis metadoxine (300-900mg iv)

  29. Methanol poisoning • CH3OH(wood alcohol) • Solvent ,antifreeze, paint remover. • Epidemics of methanol toxicity. • Poisoning mainly by ingestion

  30. Methanol + NAD+ formaldehyde + NADH ( alcohol dehydrogenase) formate (folate) CO2 + H2O

  31. Clinical effects • Inebriated but lack of euphoria. • 1-72 hrs of latent period. • Fatal dose 60-240 ml. • Vertigo ,nausea,vomiting, diarrhea,abdominal pain,dyspnea,agitation. • Blurred vision,photophobia,↓ visual acuity • Bradycardia, blindness, seizures,coma.

  32. Physical examination constricted visual field,fixed &dilated pupils, retinal edema &hyperemia of disk resp apnea ,opisthotonus,& seizure in pts dying of Methanol intoxication

  33. Lab finding high anion gap acidosis (correlates with mortality) high osmolar gap serum methanol> 20 mg/dl symptoms > 50 mg/ dl serious > 100 mg/ dl ocular signs

  34. Specific treatment aggressive tt of acidosis ethanol achieve BAC of 100- 150mg /100ml loading 0.8gm/ kg of 5 – 10% ethanol followed by 130mg/kg/hr. oral loading if no iv preparation if dialysis,250-350 mg/kg/hr. ethanol indications methanol >20 mg/100ml,symptomatic acidosis, need for HD. ingestion >o.4ml/kg

  35. Folic acid 30 mg iv every 4 hrly • Leucovorin 1-2mg/kg iv • 4-methyl pyrazole(fomepizole ) 15-20 mg/kg iv • Haemodialysis not haemoperfusion • Haemodialysis indications: methanol>20-50mg/100ml acidosis not responsive to bicarbonate formate levels > 20 mg/100ml visual impairment renal impairement • Dialysis till methanol level≈0mg/100ml and acidosis clears.

  45. Anesthetic management in acute alcohol intoxicated pts. • acute problems altered sensorium & poor assesment. . fluid & electrolytes derangements. acid –base disorders full stomach & aspiration.

  46. hypothermia. consent. ↓MAC of anesthetic gases & analgesia. multiple trauma with airway involvement. Problems due to chronic alchoholism hypoproteinemia liver dysfunction. cardiomyopathy. haematological abnormalities. increase infections

  47. other substance abuser. • HIV ,hepatitis. • Altered drug metabolism CYP2E1 . long term consumption induces MEOS. ↑metabolism of certain drugs. conversion of many foreign substances into highly toxic metabolites. perianesthetic plasma fluoride kinetics. short term consumption has opposite effects.

  48. Unpredictable awakening from anaesthesia • Withdrawal syndrome in postop period. • Long term hospitization.
