诊断

除了检查酒精中毒的明显体征和症状外,医生可能会要求进行血液和尿液检测来检查血液酒精水平、确定其他酒精中毒的体征(如低血糖)。

治疗

对于酒精中毒,在身体自行分解酒精时,通常还需要支持性护理协助治疗。这通常包括:

  • 监测以预防呼吸或呛噎问题。
  • 氧疗。
  • 通过静脉输液以防脱水。
  • 使用维生素和葡萄糖以帮助预防严重并发症。

意外摄入甲醇或异丙醇的人可能需要进行血液透析。这是一种过滤血液中废物和毒素的机械方法。它可以加速清除血液中的酒精。

生活方式与家庭疗法

对于酒精中毒,家庭疗法并不奏效。酒精中毒为紧急情况。

危险误区

酒精中毒造成的后果是不可逆的,有些做法甚至会让情况变得更糟。以下做法并不奏效:

  • 大睡一觉。酒精中毒者可能在睡眠时失去意识。
  • 摄入黑咖啡或咖啡因。咖啡和其他含咖啡因的饮料无法阻止或减轻酒精中毒的影响。
  • 冷水淋浴。冷水造成的刺激可能使酒精中毒者失去意识。
  • 行走排毒。这种做法并不会加快酒精排出体内的速度。
