In this respect, the use of dexmedetomidine combined with magnesium preparations seems to be promising.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A\u00a0quasi-randomized prospective observational study was conducted on 80 patients with alcoholic delirium, who were divided into 4 groups. Assessment parameters were delirium duration, mean arterial pressure and heart rate, and plasma magnesium, urea, creatinine, transaminase, cortisol, and serotonin levels. The control-group patients underwent standard sedation therapy with benzodiazepines. In group 1, standard sedation was supplemented by magnesium sulphate. In group 2, dexmedetomidine infusion was used. In group 3, dexmedetomidine was supplemented by the correction of hypomagnesemia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The duration of delirium proved to be significantly shorter in all study groups (3.4 \u00b1 0.6 days in group 1; 1.55 \u00b1 0.61 days in group 2) as compared to the control (5.4 \u00b1 1.48 days), P &lt; 0.001, being the shortest in group 3 (1.1 \u00b1 0.18 days), P &lt; 0.001. Cases of hypotension were detected only in the control group (2 cases [10%]) and group 1 (4 cases [20%]). The patients of groups 2 and 3 showed significant improvement in plasma levels of cortisol (16.7 \u00b1 2.25 nmol L\u20131; 15.62 \u00b1 1.63 nmol L\u20131) compared with the control (18.77 \u00b1 2.76 nmol L\u20131), P = 0.019; P = 0.003. Serotonin level was higher in the experimental group 3 (87.8 \u00b1 7.32 ng mL\u20131) as compared to the control (62.81 \u00b1 9.81ng mL\u20131) and group 2 (71.73 \u00b1 9.61 ng mL\u20131), P &lt; 0.001.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dexmedetomidine infusion combined with magnesium sulphate proved to be effective in the treatment of patients with alcohol delirium.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/ait.2022.123137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T07:15:07Z","timestamp":1672643707000},"page":"365-368","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Use of a\u00a0combination of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate as a\u00a0multimodal approach to the treatment \nof alcoholic delirium"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Oleksii","family":"Havrylov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mykola","family":"Gomon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anatolii","family":"Terekhovskyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1375693","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)31775-1"},{"key":"ref-1375694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10826084.2020.1735436"},{"key":"ref-1375695","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/cky057"},{"key":"ref-1375696","first-page":"406","article-title":"The conflict in East Ukraine: a growing need for addiction research and substance use intervention for vulnerable populations","volume":"5","author":"Patel SS","year":"2020","unstructured":"Patel SS, Zvinchuk O, Erickson TB.
