Alcohol can be a good tool for traumatic brain injury as a group of U.S. paramedics came to such conclusions.
In an article published in the medical journal Archives of Surgery, a group of researchers led evidence that people rarely die in brain injury, if at this point in their blood
alcohol is present. According to the authors, alcohol reduces inflammation in injuries.
The research is based on an analysis of more than 38 thousand cases in which patients recorded emergency
brain injury from moderately and seriously. This is the most extensive study on this topic. Additional animal studies have shown that the important role of alcohol is its quantity taken. Too little quantity has no effect, and excessive one overrides all useful properties.
Experts believe that the right dose can stop the development of tumors, inflammation and further destruction of brain cells, known as secondary brain injury.
"The conclusion that the mortality in traumatic brain injury is reduced in patients with a high content of ethanol in blood, opens up intriguing possibilities of how to use ethanol for therapeutic purposes," say the authors of the article. The researchers note that patients who were injured while intoxicated, often they were encountered various difficulties. It is also noted that alcohol itself is the root cause of various accidents and injuries. In connection with what the experts do not recommend to accept the published data as justification for the use of alcohol.
President of the College of Emergency Medical Aid, Mr. John Hayworth said that the study does not mean that the ambulance doctors (paramedics) will give alcohol to patients with brain injuries: "But if in the future the science confirms that it will help, we will consider such an option."
Professor Michael Oddi, from the British fund for the rehabilitation of people with traumatic brain injury, refers to the work with skepticism.
"Despite the entertaining conclusion of the study, the main point should be the same - if you want to avoid injury, drink alcohol in moderation and with caution," said Professor Michael Oddi.
