Some biological data of 63 acute alcoholic @entity4968 (without drug ingestion) in adults were studied during a brief hospitalization. Mean arterial blood concentration of @entity880 was 2,34 mmol/l +/- 0,13, of @entity1068 was 53 +/- 3,68 mmol/l. No correlation was found between these two variables and we have not registered lactic @entity520 . Arterial blood acid base balance was normal for 24 of 38 unconscious @entity1 . The results of other fourteen showed moderate @entity520 , either mixed or respiratory either metabolic, without @entity4053 or @entity1270 . No correlation between arterial blood ions H+ concentration (44,72 +/- 1,18 nmol/l (m +/- sem) and concomitant arterial blood @entity1068 concentration was found. Moreover, no correlation between 46 blood @entity413 concentrations (without prior @entity413 perfusion) and alcoholemia was found. Only two 18 hours fasting chronic alcoholics showed @entity4053 . These results confirm that acute @entity1068 intoxication is a potential respiratory emergency in adults, and not a metabolic one (this last pattern being true for @entity1 ). No confusion between @entity8769 and @entity988 , @entity167 induced fasting @entity4053 or shoshin beriberi must be made.

[In France, is acute XXXX in adults a metabolic emergency?].
