Alcoholic delirium tremens is a transient toxic state of impaired consciousness, which usually occurs after a sudden cessation or reduction of long-term alcohol consumption, and can sometimes be triggered by weakened resistance, such as trauma and infection.
Alcoholic delirium tremens may present with disorientation, accompanied by hallucinations, agitation, coarse tremor of the limbs and autonomic excitation, such as high fever, excessive sweating, tachycardia, increased blood pressure, etc. This may be an acute reaction of alcohol-dependent people after stopping alcohol, which is mostly seen in alcohol-dependent patients.
If the above symptoms occur, patients are advised to seek medical treatment in time. In the treatment, it is generally necessary to give patients a large amount of rehydration and dilatation to promote the repair treatment of the nerves.
Patients are advised to maintain a good state of mind, adopt a healthy lifestyle, abstain from alcohol, eat a light and easily digestible diet, and drink a moderate amount of water to promote the metabolism of alcohol.
