Estimated_Ethanol_and_Toxic_Alcohol_Serum_Concentration_Based_on_Ingestion v.1
Predicts ethanol concentration based on ingestion of alcohol.
Used to predict ethanol concentration based on ingestion of alcohol.
Predicting serum concentration of toxic alcohols. Allows estimation of maximal predicted serum concentration of alcohol based on volume and concentration ingested. Assumes 0.6 L/kg volume of distribution. The following formula is used to calculate the serum concentration [C] = Dose / (Vd × Weight); where: -[C] is serum concentration (mg/L) -Dose is amount ingested (mg) -Vd is volume of distribution (L/kg) -Weight is patient body weight (kg) To convert mg/dL to mmol/L: -Ethanol: divide ethanol concentration in mg/dL by 4.6 -Methanol: divide methanol concentration in mg/dL by 3.2 -Ethylene glycol: divide ethylene glycol concentration in mg/dL by 6.2
