Key topics covered in this episode include: ; The pathophysiology of alcohol withdrawal, focusing on how chronic alcohol use disrupts the balance between the brain’s inhibitory GABA and excitatory glutamate neurotransmitter systems. ; A detailed timeline of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, from early signs (6-12 hours) to severe complications like delirium tremens (48-72 hours). ; The importance of compassionate, non-judgmental care for patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) during withdrawal, and why judgment rarely leads to positive change. ; The role of CIWA-Ar scoring to assess withdrawal severity and guide treatment, including common medications like benzodiazepines and the emerging use of phenobarbital for symptom management.
ethanol (EtOH) actions. Given this, it is somewhat surprising that NSAID treatment has not been found to alter major signs of ethanol withdrawal. To date, the only effect found has been...

Background Chronic ethanol (EtOH) leads to disruptions in resting electroencephalogram (EEG) activity and in sleep patterns that can persist into the withdrawal period. These disruptions have been ...
Over the past year, the five papers below were published regarding the use of phenobarbital in alcohol withdrawal. These studies aren’t massive, glittering multicenter RCTs (and, realistically, it’s dubious whether such a study will happen). However, these papers bring some unique and interesting perspectives to the table. This post will summarize them briefly – a bit like a sampler flight of beers (figure above). This is a retrospective cohort study at Saint Thomas West Hospital in Nashvi...
