SPECIFICS OF ALCOHOL USE DISORDER IN PRE-HOSPITAL PRACTICES AND EMERGENCY UNIT

Ethanol intoxication is analyzed from the point of ethanol interaction with receptors and enzymes. Ethanol dependence is based on neurochemical misbalance, which is different in acute ethanol intoxication and withdrawal. It is shown that the clinical manifestation of ethanol intoxication and its complications depends on ligand-receptor and enzyme imbalances. Pharmacological approaches to the treatment of acute ethanol intoxication and its complications at the pre-hospital stage and in the emergency, unit are discussed.
