Successful use of propofol in refractory delirium tremens.
Annals of Emergency Medicine 1997 December
Alcohol withdrawal is a common problem encountered by emergency physicians, with delirium tremens (DT) as the extreme manifestation. DT is a true medical emergency. Although benzodiazepines are the mainstay of therapy, some patients require massive amounts to control their symptoms. We report the successful use of propofol for DT refractory to benzodiazepines in a 42-year-old alcoholic man. We briefly discuss alcohol withdrawal, as well as the pharmacokinetics and adverse affects of propofol. The use of propofol in treating DT refractory to benzodiazepines has previously not been reported.
