Refractory Alcohol Withdrawal
› Definition – Poo ly defi ed…you k ow it whe you see it. – > 200 mg diazepam or 40 mg lorazepam in initial 3-4 hours fail
› Etiology – low endogenous GABA levels or
– acquired conformational changes in the GABA receptor
› Refractory AWS Treatment
› Be zo’s PLU“: – Phenobarbital 130-260 mg IV q15 min
– Dexmedetomidine without load, 0.2mcg/kg/hour
– Intubate and Propofol infusion start 5mcg/kg/min Titrate

Management in the Critically Ill
› Severe alcohol withdrawal characterized by – Profound agitation
– Autonomic hyperactivity
– Alcohol withdrawal seizures and delirium
› Lack of validated measurement tool for ICU patients (especially mechanically ventilated) – Options studied in ICU patients CIWA-Ar, SAS, RASS
› Benzodiazepines standard of care to prevent delirium and seizures – RAW e ui es ↑ sedatio a d is asso iated with a ~4 %
mechanical ventilation rate
– Alternative sedation options: phenobarbital, propofol, dexmedetomidine

Resistant Alcohol Withdrawal
› On study: RAW ~ 5% of all ICU admissions, with nearly 40% of patients requiring mechanical ventilation and a mean ICU length of stay of 5.7 days. (Gold 2007)
› Resistant alcohol withdrawal had very high diazepam requirements in first 24 hours: •Mean = 234 mg •Range: 10–1490 mg

Toxicodynamics of RAWS
› Main CNS neurotransmitters (NT) affected
– Inhibitory NT: gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binds to GABA-a receptor
– Excitatory NT: glutamate binds to N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor

NMDA Receptor in Chronic Use
› Chronic Use and Withdrawal:
– Excessive activity of the NMDAR
– Increase in Ca2+ influx,
› Major cause of neurotoxicity & cell death
› cortical pyramidal cells,
› hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells,
› granule cells in the dentate gyrus, and amygdala

RAW“ a d ki dli g
› Repeated episodes of alcohol withdrawal leads to persistent and progressive EEG abnormalities,
› Further episodes of withdrawal become increasingly resistant to benzodiazepines.
› Repeated alcohol withdrawal lead to permanent dysregulation of GABA receptors. This understanding may be an explanation for the
› ki dli g phe o e a, – observation of increasing severity of alcohol withdrawal among individual
subjects, and the development of benzodiazepine-resistant alcohol withdrawal.

Delirium Tremens
› (1) disturbance of consciousness (such as reduced clarity of awareness of the environment) with reduced ability to focus, sustain, or shift attention, delirium, confusion,and frank psychosis, or
› (2) a change in cognition (such as memory deficit, disorientation, language disturbance) or the development of a perceptual disturbance that is not better accounted for by a preexisting, established, or evolving dementia.
› Unlike typical alcohol withdrawal, which typically last for 3–5 days, DT’s can last for up to 2 weeks

Barbiturates
• Few controlled studies
• Becoming first line agent
• Add for “RAW”*
• Acts on different GABA-a site

Propofol
• Stimulates GABA-A receptor
• Inhibits glutamate receptors
• Need to intubate

Propofol
• Good choice as a second agent
• Can add when refractory to massive benzodiazepine doses
• Act on different site of GABA-A receptor • Benzodiazepine augmenting agent

› Failure to consider a diagnosis – Novel chemicals
– Approximately 15 million chemical constituents, › About 30 antidotes
› Everything else is just supportive care
› Failure to appreciate the dynamic nature of overdoses – Changes toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics
› Failure to appreciate the danger – Most overdoses do fine with minimal treatment
– You need to appreciate the ones that are bad.
› Failure to react to the case.
