What to do if a person is poisoned by alcohol. What to drink with alcohol poisoning and vomiting for an adult

Alcoholic poisoning in Russia occupies a leading position among household poisonings. Alcohol accounts for more than 60% of all fatal poisonings. Most deaths (95%-98%) occur before medical care is provided. How to recognize alcohol poisoning, and what measures should be taken to avoid tragic consequences?

ethanol(ethyl or wine alcohol) - Chemical substance moderate toxic activity, colorless, volatile, flammable. Miscible with water in any quantity, easily soluble in fats. It spreads rapidly throughout the body, easily penetrates biological membranes.

Interesting facts about alcohol

• Ethanol is a natural substance for our body. Normally, ethanol is formed during the metabolism of various substances, as well as during fermentation in the intestines. However, its concentration is minimal (0.003 g/l) and does not pose a threat to health.
• In the stomach, 20% of the ethanol taken is absorbed, the remaining 80% is absorbed in the small intestine.
• On an empty stomach, half of the dose of ethanol is absorbed into the blood in 15 minutes. On average, after 1 hour 30 minutes, the maximum concentration of ethanol is observed in the blood.
• Strong (more than 30 degrees) and carbonated alcoholic drinks are most quickly absorbed into the blood.
• The absorption rate of ethanol increases with repeated doses and with diseases of the stomach (gastritis, peptic ulcer).
• Food in the stomach reduces the rate of absorption of ethanol. In this regard, the consumption of alcoholic beverages on a full stomach is one of the preventions of alcohol poisoning. As a rule, simultaneous consumption of 0.5 liters of vodka by adults will cause alcohol poisoning. However, the same amount of vodka drunk during the day will only maintain a state of intoxication.
• Having a good ability to dissolve in fats, ethanol easily penetrates the body through the skin. Fatal cases of poisoning in children are described when alcohol extracts of plants are used for compresses and wraps.
• Ethanol easily crosses the placental barrier and is distributed throughout the fetal body. The toxic effect of alcohol on the fetus is much stronger than on the mother's body.
• The average lethal dose of alcohol is 300 ml of 96% ethanol in a single dose.
• Ethanol is excreted from the body in three main ways: 1) 2-4% of ethanol is excreted through the kidneys, 2) 3-7% through the lungs, 3) up to 90-95% of ethanol is processed in the liver, where it is eventually broken down to carbon dioxide and water.

What are the symptoms and signs of alcohol poisoning?

The first signs of alcohol poisoning

Drinking alcohol can cause three different conditions:

State	Characteristic
Alcohol intoxication 4 degrees of intoxication: Light Medium heavy	The patient's consciousness is preserved, but there may be slight disturbances. A person initially experiences high spirits, emotional arousal, euphoria. Then the thinking processes slow down, both mental and physical activity, oppression of consciousness occurs, the person becomes lethargic, slow, drowsy.
alcohol poisoning	In the case of a coma, they talk about alcohol poisoning.
Alcohol intoxication	The toxic effect of ethanol breakdown products on the body, while ethanol itself is not detected in the blood.

The first symptoms of alcohol poisoning and the mechanisms of their occurrence

What is affected?	Symptoms	Origin mechanism
Gastrointestinal tract	Abdominal pain Diarrhea Nausea Vomit	Pain - a direct damaging effect of ethanol on the mucous membrane of the stomach and small intestine Diarrhea - malabsorption of water and minerals, fats; a rapidly occurring deficiency of an enzyme necessary for the digestion of lactose Nausea is a sign of general intoxication Vomiting - often has a central character, that is, is associated with the toxic effect of ethanol on the central nervous system
central nervous system	Mental arousal Euphoria Delusions, hallucinations Possible convulsions Violation of attention, speech, perception Impaired coordination of movements Violation of thermoregulation Decrease in body temperature Increased sweating pupil dilation	The damaging effect of ethanol on the nerve cells of the central nervous system Metabolic disorder nerve cells, oxygen starvation Toxic effect of ethanol breakdown intermediates (acetaldehyde, acetate, ketone bodies)
The cardiovascular system	Cardiopalmus Redness of the face, pallor of the skin (in a serious condition) Dizziness General weakness, malaise	A patient during vomiting, diarrhea loses a lot of fluid from the body. In addition, due to an increase in the permeability of the vascular wall, fluid from the vascular bed passes into the intercellular space. To compensate for the volume of circulating blood, the body includes a number of compensatory mechanisms: increased heart rate, constriction of peripheral vessels, thus redistributing blood to more important organs.
Respiratory system	Breathing fast, noisy Acute respiratory failure	Damage to the respiratory center, metabolic disorders, development of cerebral edema Compensatory mechanism to restore the acid-base balance. Acute respiratory failure - retraction of the tongue, ingress of vomit into the respiratory tract, reflex spasm of the larynx, bronchi)
Violation of water-mineral balance, kidney damage	Increased urination Decreased urination up to complete absence (in severe stages!)	Ethanol increases urination by reducing secretion antidiuretic hormone(hormone of the hypothalamus that retains water in the body). Also, ethanol removes potassium, calcium, magnesium from the body, disrupting their absorption in the intestine. In the body there is a deficiency of Ca, K, Mg. In severe stages, ethanol damages structural elements kidneys.
Liver damage	Pain in the right hypochondrium Maybe: Jaundice of the sclera, skin	Direct damaging effect on liver cells, violation of intracellular metabolism.

Severe alcohol poisoning

In severe cases, the patient falls into a coma, that is, loses consciousness and does not respond to external stimuli (pats on the cheeks, loud noises, tingling, etc.). The concentration of ethanol in the blood of 3 g / l or more causes a coma.
There are 2 phases of alcoholic coma: superficial coma and deep.

Coma phase:	Symptoms
superficial coma	Loss of consciousness Decreased pain sensitivity Floating eyeball movements Different pupils in the eyes (narrowed in one, dilated in the other) Respond to irritation by changing facial expressions or defensive movements The face and mucous membranes of the eyes are often red Excessive salivation Cardiopalmus Dyspnea
deep coma	Complete loss of pain sensation Decreased or absent tendon reflexes Loss of muscle tone Decrease in body temperature Skin is pale, cyanotic Possible convulsions Decreased depth and frequency of breathing Pronounced acceleration heart rate(more than 120 bpm) Lowering blood pressure

What determines the severity of alcohol poisoning?

Factor	Why?
Quantity taken alcohol	When large doses of alcohol enter the body, especially in one go, the liver (the main organ responsible for the neutralizing function of the body) simply does not have time to process it. And ethanol, as well as the products of its incomplete decay, accumulate in the blood and damage vital organs (brain, kidneys, liver, heart, etc.). A healthy liver of a man weighing 80 kg in 1 hour completely processes only 8 grams. pure alcohol. For example, 100 ml of 40 degree vodka contains 31.6 gr. pure alcohol.
Age	The most sensitive to the effects of alcohol are children and the elderly. In children, the mechanisms of neutralization have not yet fully formed in the liver. In older people, these mechanisms no longer perform their function adequately.
Individual intolerance	The most common alcohol intolerance fast development alcohol poisoning occurs among persons of the Mongoloid race. They have a genetically determined low activity of a special enzyme necessary for the complete breakdown of ethanol (aldehyde dehydrogenase). Intoxication occurs as a result of the accumulation of the product of the incomplete breakdown of ethanol (acetaldehyde).
Overwork, malnutrition, pregnancy, diseases of the liver, pancreas, diabetes.	All of these conditions reduce liver function, including the neutralizing function.
Simultaneous intake of alcohol with medications	The toxic effect of ethanol is enhanced when taken simultaneously with the following drugs: sleeping pills, tranquilizers, antidepressants, painkillers (morphine, omnopon), etc.
Impurities and additives	The toxic effect of ethanol increases due to impurities and additives: methyl alcohol, higher alcohols, aldehydes, furfural, ethylene glycol, etc.
Alcohol consumption on an empty stomach	On an empty stomach, half of the dose taken is absorbed into the blood in 15 minutes. The use of alcohol with food, especially with carbohydrate food, significantly reduces the rate of its absorption and thereby reduces the rapid increase in the concentration of ethanol in the blood.

How to drink without getting drunk and avoid a hangover? There are many "proven" folk remedies, but, unfortunately, not all of them work as they should. In the arsenal of medicine there is a reliable remedy - PEPIDOL.
With PEPIDOL, everything is simple: they took 50 milliliters of the solution 15-30 minutes before the feast and 50 milliliters in the morning. Intoxication after taking alcohol, of course, occurs, but due to the fact that PEPIDOL envelops the intestinal wall, this happens much more slowly. In addition, PEPIDOL is an excellent sorbent. It helps to eliminate poisons, toxins, products of alcohol metabolism from the body. Like and drank, but you feel like a "cucumber". It turns out that PEPIDOL is something like a tool for a real scout, when after drinking you can easily control everything.
It should be noted that PEPIDOL works even when the hangover has already set in. In this situation, you also need to take 50 milliliters of the solution and 50 milliliters after three hours.

Poisoning by alcohol substitutes

Alcohol surrogates- These are various types of liquids that are not designed for ingestion, but they are used instead of alcoholic beverages to achieve a state of intoxication.
Types of surrogates:

• Colognes, lotions, various medicinal tinctures (hawthorn, motherwort, etc.)
• Technical fluids (brake fluid, antifreeze, windshield wipers, etc.)
• Methyl alcohol, ethylene glycol are the most dangerous surrogates.

In general, the symptoms of poisoning with alcohol substitutes are similar to ethanol poisoning. First of all, these are: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, malaise, general weakness, impaired coordination of movements, lethargy, drowsiness, impaired consciousness. However, poisoning with methyl alcohol and ethanol has a number of features and is particularly severe.

Methyl alcohol poisoning

Methyl alcohol is found in: car glass cleaners and solvents. In the body, methyl alcohol is oxidized to formaldehyde and formic acid, which carry out the main toxic effect. Symptoms of poisoning occur 12-24 hours after consumption. Symptoms: headache, nausea, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, malaise, visual impairment(flies, fog before the eyes, double vision, blindness). When poisoning with methyl alcohol, the retina and optic nerve are very often affected, which in many cases leads to blindness. Persistent pupil dilation in case of poisoning is considered an unfavorable prognostic sign. In severe cases, death occurs from respiratory paralysis and impaired cardiovascular activity.

Ethylene glycol poisoning

Ethylene glycol is found in: brake fluid, antifreeze, solvents, glass cleaners. When ethylene glycol enters the body during its decay, glycolic and oxalic acids are formed, which determine the severe course of poisoning. Oxalic acid forms insoluble salts that clog the renal tubules, causing acute renal failure. Severe symptoms of poisoning occur 4-8 hours after the use of ethylene glycol. Symptoms: nausea, repeated vomiting, mental and physical agitation, tremor, convulsions, depression of consciousness, coma. 2-3 days after poisoning, symptoms of acute kidney failure: sharp pains in the lower back, abdomen, urine of the color of "meat slops", a decrease in the amount of urine.

What to do in case of alcohol poisoning?

Do I need to call an ambulance?
Not really	Why?
Yes need! This must be done as early as possible.	Alcohol poisoning is a serious pathological condition that often leads to lethal outcome. Only a specialist is able to objectively assess the patient's condition. Treatment of alcohol poisoning requires the introduction of a number of medications. In most cases, the treatment of alcohol poisoning is carried out in the department intensive care and resuscitation. Untimely and incorrectly rendered first aid often leads to death. 95% of all deaths from alcohol poisoning occur to first aid.

First aid for alcohol poisoning

What to do?		How?	What for?
Ensure airway patency		Take out the tongue, when it retracts Clean your mouth If possible, use a rubber bulb to remove the contents of the oral cavity (mucus, saliva, vomit residues) In case of excessive salivation, inject 1.0-0.1% atropine intravenously	Ensure an adequate supply of oxygen. Prevent upper airway blockage.
Correctly lay the patient, fix the tongue		The patient should be placed on the side Press the tongue to prevent it from sinking (you can press the tongue with a spoon or finger, it is better to wrap a napkin or handkerchief around your finger so that the tongue does not slip out)	To prevent vomit from entering the respiratory tract. Tongue drop common cause death while unconscious.
In case of cardiac and respiratory arrest, perform chest compressions and artificial respiration		2 breaths and 30 chest compressions constitute one resuscitation cycle. Repeat until breathing and heartbeat appear or until the ambulance arrives. It is better to do it in pairs, alternately changing so that the clicks are effective.	The method is able to restart cardiac and respiratory activity or support vital organs until specialized help arrives.
Bring to consciousness if the patient is unconscious		Bring a cotton swab with ammonia up to 1 cm from the nose	Ammonia has an awakening effect, stimulates breathing.
induce vomiting (if the patient is conscious!)		Drink 1-3 cups of salt solution (1 tsp to 1 cup of warm water) Take an emetic (ipecac root) in a glass of water 2 tsp.	The procedure is effective first hours after drinking alcohol. Since the complete absorption of ethanol from the digestive tract into the blood takes 40-90 minutes (on an empty stomach). Vomiting is contraindicated in the unconscious state and in the case of a serious condition of the patient. Since there is a high risk of vomit entering the respiratory tract, which can lead to serious consequences, even death.
Perform gastric lavage		If possible, do gastric lavage through a tube Drink as much water as possible, then press on the root of the tongue to induce vomiting. Repeat until clean vomit. (Water can be salted for 1 liter 1 tsp)	The method is effective only for the first hours of poisoning. Absorbed into the blood within 1-2 hours most of ethanol. After 2-3 hours from the moment of alcohol intake, gastric lavage is ineffective.
Warm the sick		Place in a warm room, wrap in a blanket, dress, etc.	Alcohol causes peripheral vasodilation, which is accompanied by a strong loss of heat.
To accept adsorbent(a substance capable of absorbing various types of toxins) Activated carbon white coal, polysorb, entorosgel, etc.		White coal: 3-4 tablets, up to 3-4 times a day Enterosgel: 6 tablespoons, once. Polysorb: Adults 2-3 tablespoons, mixed with ¼-½ cup of water. Activated carbon: 1 gram per 10 kg of patient weight, 1 tab. \u003d 0.25 gr. On average, 30-40 tab. appointment. For greater efficiency, the tablets should be crushed into powder and diluted in 100-200 ml of water. The average daily dose is 20-30 gr., 80-120 tab.	Adsorbents are most effective for the first hours of poisoning. They bind and remove alcohol from the body, which did not have time to be absorbed into the blood.
Take substances that accelerate the neutralization and removal of ethanol from the body		Metadoxyl dose 300-600 mg (5-10 ml), intramuscularly; Or add 300-900 mg of metadoxil to 500 ml of saline or 5% glucose solution, inject intravenously over 90 minutes. Vitamins + Glucose Traditionally mixed in one syringe: 1) Vit. B1 (thiamine) 2ml-5%; 2) vit. B6 (pyridoxine) 3 ml-5%; 3) vit.C (ascorbic acid) 5-10ml-5%; 4)10-20 ml 40% glucose Enter intravenously. Bee honey 100-200 grams in 2-3 doses (honey contains a large number of fructose)	Metadoxil is a drug created specifically for the treatment of alcohol intoxication. Increases the activity of enzymes responsible for the utilization of ethanol. Thus, it accelerates the processes of processing and removing ethanol. Restores liver cells. Improves mental condition sick. Do not use in case of poisoning with surrogates (methanol, ethylene glycol), in this case their toxic effect will only increase. Vitamins, glucose, fructose, improve metabolic processes, accelerate the processes of neutralization and elimination of ethanol. Thiamine reduces the risk of alcoholic psychosis.
Restore water and mineral balance		Droppers: Sodium bicarbonate 4%-400 ml Hemodez 400 ml Quartosol, acesol 500 ml Drink: Pickle (cucumber, cabbage) Mineral water(0.5-1.5 l)	Solutions improve circulation through the vessels, restore the necessary water and mineral balance. Neutralize and remove toxins from the blood.
To accept Hepatoprotectors		Ademetionine (Heptral) 2-4 tablets a day for 2 weeks, 1 tablet = 400mg Essentiale 1-2 capsules 3 times a day, course from 3 to 6 months. 1 caps = 300 mg	Restore damaged liver cells, improve their function, accelerate the processes of ethanol neutralization.
In case of poisoning methyl alcohol or ethylene glycol drink ethyl alcohol		For the first time hours of poisoning to drink high-quality strong alcohol: 200 ml cognac, whiskey, vodka 40-50 ml of vodka 40 deg. every 3 hours 4-methylpyrazole, 10 mg per 1 kg of body weight, together with an aqueous solution of ethanol 200 ml orally, every 3-4 hours	Ethyl alcohol acts as an antidote, it stops the breakdown of methyl alcohol into toxic substances (formic acid and formaldehyde). 4-methylpyrazole (pyrozole, fomepisol) is the newest antidote for poisoning with methyl alcohol and ethylene glycol. The drug reduces the activity of the liver enzyme (alcohol dehydrogenase), thereby interrupting the formation of toxic substances from the above alcohols.

What can not be done with alcohol poisoning?

• Lay the patient on his back, there is a high risk that he will choke on vomit
• Give alcohol again, unless it's methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning
• Take a cold shower. With alcohol poisoning, the processes of thermoregulation are disturbed, the body already suffers from heat loss. Cold showers can only make matters worse.
• Force the victim to get up and walk. At the time of poisoning, all organs and systems work in extreme mode, and any additional stress can damage them.
• Do not leave the patient alone. For example: the victim can lose consciousness at any time, and suffocate if the tongue sinks.
• Do not induce vomiting, do not do gastric lavage if the patient is unconscious (at home). There is a high risk of gastric juice entering the respiratory tract and developing acute respiratory failure.

Complications of alcohol poisoning

• Acute toxic hepatitis
• Acute liver failure
• Alcoholic delirium ("delirious tremens"), delirium, hallucinations
• Syndrome Mendelssohn(Mendelssohn's syndrome is a serious condition in which acute respiratory failure develops due to the ingress of gastric juice into the respiratory tract). With alcohol poisoning, the syndrome often develops if vomit enters the respiratory tract.

Prevention of alcohol poisoning

• Don't drink alcohol on an empty stomach
• Do not drink alcohol in large doses
• Do not drink alcohol when you are sick gastrointestinal tract, overwork, malnutrition
• Do not drink alcohol while taking medications (antidepressants, sleeping pills, painkillers, etc.)
• Eat a heavy meal before drinking
• Eating after drinking alcohol
• Try not to combine different alcoholic drinks
• Try to take alcoholic beverages in ascending degrees
• Do not drink low-quality alcoholic beverages
• The best prevention is NOT to drink at all!

Note:the intake of these drugs should be carried out only in strict accordance with the instructions, it is necessary to give the poisoned person the exact dosage according to his weight and age.

Basically, it ends there. But even if a person fully rests, sleeps well, he will need to support the body and help recover from the ingestion of toxins. Public funds will come to the rescue.

Folk remedies for alcohol poisoning

It must be remembered that folk remedies for alcohol poisoning are appropriate if a person has slept, fully recovered, is conscious, but complains of feeling unwell (a consequence of intoxication). In this case, you can use one of the following means:

Well, besides this, for several centuries, brine has been considered the first remedy after alcohol poisoning. Any will do, but sauerkraut brine has a big effect.

Drugs for alcohol poisoning

Some symptomatic drugs can weaken the effect of toxins on the body, improve well-being after alcohol poisoning.

Biotredin

These tablets accelerate metabolic processes in the body, normalize and stabilize redox reactions in cells, relieve emotional stress and improve mental performance. Such actions provide a quick improvement in well-being, the removal of toxins from the body. The effect can be observed within 10-20 minutes after taking Biotredin.

Zorex

You need to drink this remedy twice a day. Zorex tablets accelerate the process of alcohol breakdown and contribute to the rapid removal of toxins from the liver.

Limontar

These pills are great for helping to cope with the symptoms of severe alcohol poisoning. Limontar not only weakens the action of toxins, but also improves metabolic processes in tissues, enhances the secretion of gastric juice.

You need to take this drug 4 times a day, 1-2 tablets per reception. Tablets are crushed and dissolved in water with a small amount of baking soda.

Alka-Seltzer

This is a special drug that, in case of alcohol poisoning, eliminates, makes the effect of toxins almost negligible and improves overall well-being.

note: despite the variety of drugs that are designed to make you feel better in case of alcohol poisoning, doctors recommend giving preference to activated charcoal. After all, it is this drug that belongs to the category of natural, and all the above-mentioned tablets are chemical compounds, which can adversely affect the functioning of the liver and kidneys.

You can not remove the symptoms of alcohol poisoning with alcohol - such a hangover will only aggravate the situation: the body needs help, not additional toxins.

In a dream, the condition in question is much easier to tolerate, so a patient with alcohol poisoning needs more sleep. Naturally, this is allowed only if his stomach has already been cleaned, sorbents have been taken and the person's condition does not cause concern.

You can't suppress the urge to vomit. Moreover, with a feeling of nausea, it is imperative to empty the stomach - human body thus he heals himself. The more alcohol leaves the body, the less it will be in the blood, and the easier alcohol poisoning will proceed.

While drinking alcohol, regularly look at your reflection in the mirror. As soon as reddening of the face appears (this is the first sign of alcohol poisoning), you need to stop drinking alcohol, take a break from the feast and go out into the fresh air.

Alcohol poisoning is a serious “blow” to the body, so you need to fight it. Of course, ideally, you should completely abandon the use of alcoholic beverages, but in case of excessive alcohol consumption, you need to know the rules for providing first aid - in some cases, a well-conducted treatment of alcohol poisoning saves a person's life.

Names of tablets from alcohol poisoning of the adsorbing group

Activated carbon

Names of pills for alcohol poisoning of the symptomatic group

Zorex

Pharmacodynamics:

It has high detoxification, antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. Main active substances, which are included in the structure of Zorex - unithiol and calcium pantothenate. As a result of the interaction of unithiol and the decay products of ethanol (other poisons), non-toxic complexes are formed, which the body gets rid of with urine. The presence of calcium pantothenate contributes to an increase in the effectiveness of the detoxification action of Zorex.

Pharmacokinetics:

Due to the intake of this drug, its highest concentration in the body occurs after an hour and a half. The maximum plasma concentration of Zorex lasts approximately 9 hours. The duration of stay in the digestive organs is several minutes (20-25). The time required for the breakdown of ethanol and other toxins is about 8 hours. With urine, an average of 55% of the drug is excreted from the body, the rest is excreted with excrement.

When Zorex is indicated:

• Alcoholism in the chronic stage.
• Acute alcohol poisoning.
• Poisoning caused by drugs from the group of cardiac glycosides.
• Intoxication with toxic metals.

Methods of application, doses:

It is taken before meals.

In the treatment of alcoholism: 1 capsule is taken 2 times / day (treatment duration - 10 days).

In the treatment of acute alcohol poisoning: a similar dosage is prescribed - 1 capsule 2 r / day. In case of exacerbation, the dose can be increased: 1 capsule 3 r / day. The duration of the course of therapy is several days (until the symptoms of poisoning disappear).

In the treatment of poisoning with toxic metals and arsenic compounds, the daily dose is increased: 350-1000 mg is divided into 3 doses. Must be taken for at least 7 days.

Side effect:

In cases of taking increased doses, the following symptoms may be observed: palpitations, nausea, weakness. It is also very rare to develop skin reactions allergic type.

Hangover vomiting occurs due to intoxication of the body with ethanol and its metabolic products. Often vomits after drinking low-quality alcohol and poisoning it with surrogates. If there is vomiting, then this indicates that the body itself seeks to cleanse itself of ethyl alcohol toxins, so this process should not be interfered with. Often, alcohol poisoning is treated by gastric lavage and induction of vomiting. However, there is also a reverse situation, when severe vomiting does not stop for a long time. This condition can be a symptom of some dangerous diseases that have become aggravated due to alcoholism, and it can also be the cause of severe dehydration. That is why you need to know how to stop vomiting after alcohol poisoning, and in what cases it can be done, and when urgent medical help is needed.

What is dangerous incessant vomiting?

Nausea and vomiting with a hangover are caused by poisoning the body with a toxic metabolite of ethanol - acetaldehyde. In addition, fusel oils from alcohol, acid, and sometimes methanol, which is often found in a surrogate, contribute to intoxication of the body.

If vomiting after alcohol does not stop for a long time, then the danger of this situation is as follows:

• Drinking alcohol contributes to frequent urination, which provokes a violation of water balance. Vomiting only makes the dehydration worse. In addition, vomiting promotes flushing out of the body useful substances and micronutrients. As a result, there is a violation of the water, salt and electrolyte balance in the body, which affects the work of all organs and can lead to sad consequences.
• If the gag reflex occurs when alcohol intoxication will not pass yet, and the person will be asleep or unconscious, that is, there is a risk that he may choke on vomit when he is lying on his back. That is why a drunk sleeping person must be laid on his side and controlled so that he does not roll over onto his back.
• The most dangerous thing is when you vomit from a hangover with an admixture of blood, bile or vomit is almost black. This may indicate damage to the digestive tract, exacerbation serious illnesses organs of the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, you need to urgently call an ambulance.

Causes of vomiting

Why vomiting with a hangover, we explained. This is a protective reaction of the body to alcohol poisoning. However, there are other reasons why a gag reflex occurs:

1. If the next morning there was a single vomiting, then most likely the body is so eager to cleanse itself of ethanol and its toxins. This process should not be hindered. Moreover, if you feel sick, but there is no vomiting, it is recommended to do a gastric lavage. To do this, you need to drink a lot of water and put pressure on the root of the tongue so that you vomit. So you will help the body and cleanse the stomach of alcohol that has not had time to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
2. If a person is poisoned by alcohol, then vomiting occurs even after consuming a small dose of a surrogate. Especially dangerous is alcohol poisoning, which is made on the basis of methyl alcohol. This substance can cause deafness, blindness, and even death.
3. Vomiting after drinking alcohol may occur due to an allergic reaction or individual intolerance to ethanol. As a rule, this condition is supplemented by concomitant symptoms - choking, coughing, rashes.
4. It can also vomit due to disruption of the gastrointestinal tract due to exposure to ethanol. If ethyl alcohol has disrupted the activity of the gallbladder, then bile will be present in the vomit. In this case, a person may feel bitterness in the mouth. Often, such vomiting may indicate incipient pancreatitis.
5. Of all the types of alcoholic vomiting, the most dangerous is vomiting with an admixture of blood. Such vomit will be when the walls of the digestive tract, throat or stomach are damaged. It is necessary to treat such vomiting only in a hospital, so it is better to refrain from taking any medication for vomiting until the ambulance arrives.
6. If your vomit is black, then this may be due to the peculiarities of the food eaten or it indicates hidden bleeding. Remember, no alcoholic drinks can color the contents of the stomach black. Therefore, if you are sure that you did not eat anything the day before that could affect the color of vomiting, immediately consult a doctor to find out the cause and location of hidden bleeding.

The first thing to do when vomiting after alcohol is to help the body clear the stomach of alcohol and food debris. To quickly stop vomiting, you need to do a gastric lavage. Washing is always used to treat a poisoned person. Remember, you should not combine alcohol and emetics, as the reaction of the body can be unpredictable. It is better to wash the stomach mechanically. When performing this procedure, you should adhere to the following rules:

• The patient must drink at least two liters of normal clean water. To do this, you can take a chilled boiled water or mineral water without gas. No need to add potassium permanganate to it, as our grandmothers did. If you want, to improve the absorption of toxic substances, you can add crushed activated carbon or another sorbent to the water.
• The poisoned person must sit or stand. In extreme cases, it can be laid on its side so that the vomit does not block the airways. Then you need to press on the root of the tongue, which will induce vomiting and clear the stomach.
• After cleansing the stomach and stopping vomiting, you need to take an enterosorbent. It can be the same activated charcoal or another pharmacy drug. It will get rid of alcohol toxins that have entered the intestines. It is worth remembering that all sorbents have one feature - after a certain period of time after adsorption, they begin to release toxins back into the intestines. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to put an enema 2-4 hours after the use of sorbents. So, with feces, the sorbent and toxins will be removed naturally.
• Recovery water balance After vomiting, be sure to drink enough fluids. 3-4 liters is your daily norm. Just don't drink large quantities at a time, as this can induce vomiting. It is better to drink a sip every five minutes. As a drink, ordinary water, mineral water without gas, green tea, compotes, rosehip broth, juices.
• Do not eat immediately after cleansing the stomach. When you feel sick with alcohol poisoning, the first meal after stopping vomiting is best done after 4 hours. chicken bouillon, boiled vegetables, fruit.

Worth knowing: if the patient has an ulcer, gastritis, hypertension, heart attack or cholelithiasis, then washing is strictly prohibited.

If a person throws up with a hangover and after a gastric lavage, then use the following recommendations:

1. You can stop vomiting with medication called Cerucal. You need to drink a tablet with a minimum amount of liquid, since a large portion of water can provoke a new attack of vomiting. If it gets a little better, after a quarter of an hour you can take another pill.
2. In case of alcohol poisoning, an inflammatory process can begin in the intestines, which will provoke nausea and vomiting. To stop it, you can drink a decoction of chamomile, rosehip and calendula.

Pharmaceutical preparations for nausea and vomiting

• As we said above, if vomiting does not stop, drink Cerucal.
• As sorbents that you need to drink after washing and stopping vomiting, you can advise Polyphepan, Enterosgel, Polysorb, Enterodez, Smecta. These medications will help speed up the elimination of alcohol toxins from the body.

• In addition, Alka-Seltser, Yantavit, Metadoxil, Biotredin, Bizon can be recommended.

Ginger water can be used to treat nausea after alcohol poisoning. To do this, crushed ginger root is poured with boiling water and, after infusion, is drunk instead of tea. Peppermint tea and infusion on lemon balm leaves fight well against nausea. Lemon water has a pronounced antiemetic effect. To prepare it, the juice from one lemon is mixed with water, bringing the volume to 0.25 liters. A teaspoon of potato juice before meals also has a similar effect.

But when you use an amount of alcohol that exceeds the detoxification capacity of the liver, the poison enters the brain and causes violations of the higher nervous activity. Outwardly, this is manifested by a feeling of euphoria, clouding of consciousness, impaired coordination.

At severe degree poisoning, a person loses sensitivity, reflexes weaken, stunning occurs. In the extreme stage, cardiac arrest, cessation of breathing, deep coma are possible. Such consequences occur when the concentration of ethyl alcohol in the blood is 3% or more. Lethal dose alcohol is about 300 grams in terms of pure alcohol. If we consider the average lethal dose in terms of body weight, then it is 8 grams of ethanol per kg.

In everyday life, alcohol poisoning refers to any changes accompanied by a deterioration in well-being due to drinking alcohol. They may appear immediately after taking a large dose (vomiting, loss of consciousness) or visit you the next morning - hangover syndrome. In general, these conditions are treated in the same way, but there are some nuances.
