A 45-year-old male patient presents to the emergency department displaying tremors, agitation, and profuse sweating. Based on these symptoms, which treatment is most appropriate to administer?
Vitamin supplements
Antipsychotics
Benzodiazepines
Electrolyte solutions
The correct answer, Benzodiazepines, is effective in managing withdrawal symptoms in patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which is indicated by the presentation of tremors, agitation, and sweating. These medications work by calming the central nervous system and preventing complications such as seizures. Vitamins and Electrolyte solutions, while useful in treating complications associated with withdrawal, do not directly address the acute symptoms presented. Antipsychotics are generally not recommended as first-line treatment for withdrawal symptoms without concurrent psychotic features.
