Treatment of delirium tremens with intravenous injections of 20% Decholin solution
Abstracts. Neuropathology and Psychiatry. Prof. de Crinis (Monatschr. f Ps. Bd. 76, 1930) believes that delirium tremens is the result of damage to the detoxifying function of the liver, and not the result of a direct effect of alcohol on the brain. Therefore, in 17 cases he treated delirium tremens with intravenous injections of a 20% Decholin solution, which increased the excretory capacity of the liver, and in all cases with one or two injections, each 10 kb. see, stopped seizures within no more than 8 hours. Compared with the usual duration of delirium tremens of 3-5 days with a mortality rate of 9%, this result is undoubtedly a great success.
