Alcohol poisoning and poisoning from surrogate alcohols is one of the most common reasons for seeking medical attention during the New Year holidays, reports the Bishkek Center for Health Promotion.
Symptoms of alcohol poisoning and surrogate intoxication include:
- difficulty breathing;
- dizziness;
- skin redness;
- headache;
- vomiting.
Epileptiform seizures, involuntary acts of defecation and urination, as well as disturbances in consciousness, up to coma, may also occur, which can lead to fatal outcomes.
What should be done?
Do not leave the victim alone.
Try to keep them awake, preferably in a sitting position.
Do not induce vomiting artificially. The vomiting reflex in a person poisoned by alcohol may not work properly, increasing the risk of choking.
If they are able to drink, offer them water. Do not give coffee.
Keep them warm. Avoid cold showers, as alcohol lowers body temperature, which can lead to hypothermia.
If breathing stops, immediately begin artificial respiration and perform resuscitation until emergency medical help arrives or until the victim's breathing and circulation are restored.
How to prevent alcohol poisoning?
avoid consuming alcohol if you have gastrointestinal, cardiovascular diseases, or mental disorders;
do not combine alcohol with medications (antidepressants, sleeping pills, painkillers, etc.);
do not drink alcohol on an empty stomach and do not chase it with carbonated drinks;
always have a snack after consuming alcohol; lemon is an excellent snack, as vitamin C helps speed up alcohol metabolism;
do not mix or alternate different types of alcohol;
avoid consuming counterfeit alcoholic beverages.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages is strictly prohibited for: children under 16 years old, pregnant women, and drivers of vehicles.
