Listed below are the main mechanisms of action of the dropper in the treatment of acute alcohol poisoning.

• The decrease in the concentration of alcohol in the blood. This leads to a rapid sobering up and reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on the brain and internal organs.
• Stimulation of the kidneys, accelerating their work on the removal of the remnants of alcohol from the blood.
• Restoration of water and electrolyte losses in the body. Vomiting and diarrhea, the main symptoms of alcohol poisoning, lead to significant water and electrolyte crash.
• Normalization of blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate. These symptoms are caused by electrolyte failure and shortage of liquid. With the normalization of water-electrolyte balance vitals are regulated.
• Removing spasm of blood vessels in the brain and regulation of the Central nervous system.
• Cleansing the body of toxins and poisons.

That can drip with alcohol poisoning at home

Part of the dropper with alcohol intoxication depends on the patient and degree of dehydration. The first dropper is placed by the paramedics, they after seeing the patient, decide what to prokapat it.

• saline;
• glucose;
• Trisol;
• disol;
• reosorbilakt;
• reopoligljukin.

In solutions with droppers can be added vitamin C, ascorbic acid. Also introduced to the patient intravenous antiemetic drugs (metoclopramide, reglan). Further medical examination and treatment conducted at the hospital.

Examination for appointment of IVS in the hospital consist of the following tests:

• a General detailed analysis of blood. It is possible roughly to calculate the degree of dehydration, to identify the presence of acute inflammatory process in the body;
• determine the pH of the blood;
• biochemical analysis of blood to identify the levels of electrolytes (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium);
• electrocardiogram, which is needed to detect arrhythmias (heart rhythm disturbances, which can occur due to dehydration).

When poisoning with methyl alcohol in the dropper to the patient by intravenous administration of antidote – ethanol. Thanks to him, it is possible to prevent total loss of vision and kidney damage, brain.
