I don't know for certain, but I'd imagine that it'd dilute the blood alcohol level and at the same time rehydate (as the metabolism of ETOH absorbs water), while still maintaining a good electrolyte balance. If I'm right I'd say this would be most useful some time after injestion. Is saline helpful for intoxication: depends on what you mean by helpful. It is standardly given for EtOH intoxication, unless the person is persistently hypoglycemic, in which some form of dextrose in water is given (Usually D51/2 saline). Many physicians (myself included), if the patient is more than likely going to be admitted (usually not for the intoxication, but for other reasons), will give a patient a liter of D5NS. There is some danger giving dextrose to people with chronic malnutritive states, including alcohol dependence, because of the risk of Wernicke encephalopathy and/or Korsakoff syndrome. For this reason, the first bag or two of fluid is mixed with thiamine, folic acid, multivitamin, and magnesium. Alcohol intoxication can cause dehydration, which is what is thought to cause hangovers, so a liter or two of fluid can help with that. I don't necessarily think the IV fluids help get rid of the intoxication any more rapidly, however. Your body will still metabolize the alcohol at about the same rate.

Is d5w isotonic when mixed with 0.9 percent NaCl?
D5w and 0.9 ns are both isotonic solutions (osmolarity is similar to body fluids). When combined however, the solution becomes hypertonic (osmolarity is greater than body fluids). When administered iv, d5w .9 ns pulls fluid from cells and interstitial space into blood vessels.
Five DSM-IV substance-related disorders?
abuse, dependence, intoxication, psychotic disorders. amnestic syndromes
Can IV saline soln cause diarrhea?
Noy. Overhydration with IV NaCL excretes via the urine.
Did the sleeping pills kill Michael Jackson?
The cause of death was acute propofol intoxication from an IV solution, not sleeping pills.
What happens to a dehydrated patient if you gave them a pure water IV?
An acute case of death. Always. Cause: acute water intoxication.
What do you use to clean the site for an IV?
Alcohol swabs and/or providone-iodine swabs.
What do you think is the appropriate NaC1 concentration for IV fluid?
The appropriate NaCl concentration for intravenous (IV) fluid typically depends on the clinical situation. For general hydration, a 0.9% NaCl solution, often referred to as normal saline, is commonly used. In cases of hyponatremia or for specific fluid resuscitation needs, hypertonic saline solutions (such as 3% NaCl) may be indicated. It's essential to tailor the NaCl concentration to the patient's specific needs and medical condition.
When cleansing the site for an iv what should be used?
Alcohol or betadine
Can you give example of three IV solution?
1. D5W=Dextrose 5% in water 2. Normal saline=0.9% NaCl 3. 1/2 Normal saline=0.45% NaCl
If alcohol is injected straight into a vein?
Pharmaceutical grade ethyl alcohol is sometimes given IV. Other than the obvious problems of getting drunk (perhaps dangerously so) the alcohol is not a problem. Using alcohol that is not intended for IV use may cause problems from the other contaminants in it.
How do you make Sudan IV solution?
dissolve in 95% ethyl alcohol and heat it
Could Saline through iv elevate blood alcohol level?
Saline solution cannot increase blood alcohol level.
Why saline in IV bags has 0.9 percent NaCl concentration?
More simply, normal (0.9%) saline contains the same concentration of salt as your body fluids. For this reason, it is the most commonly used saline solution, for IV'sor other uses such as flushing wounds, eye baths, etc. "Normal" silane is referred as 0.9% ( 1% commonly. As in "get me some 1%, stat!) NaCl in water, but that's based only on Hartog Jakob Hamburger's 1882 study of red cell lysis. The correct concentration of salt in the human blood is 0.6%. Still, it's easier to say "1% solution" because it's easy to remember.
