Precomatose State

Precomatose states (PSS) are rare but potentially fatal diseases that lead to profound disruptions in the functioning of the body. These conditions are complex metabolic disorders caused by various causes, such as infection, injury, medications or drugs, and hereditary factors. In this article we will look at the most common precomatose disorders and their consequences for humans.

Precoma is a condition that causes neurological and psychotic symptoms, including confusion, hallucinations and aggressive behavior, as well as impaired perception of reality. Precoma can be caused by several reasons, including hypoglycemia, alcohol intoxication, diabetic coma, obstructive pneumonia, and others.

Hypoglycemia is a decrease in blood glucose levels that often occurs in patients with diabetes or when drinking alcohol. Hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, confusion, and even loss of consciousness. Treatment of hypoglycemia usually includes intravenous carbohydrates, antihypoxants, and therapy for diseases that cause hypoglycemic coma.

Alcoholic precoma occurs with excessive alcohol consumption, especially in individuals with impaired alcohol tolerance. Symptoms of alcoholic precoma include confusion, tremors, and loss of coordination. More serious consequences may include coma and death. To treat alcoholic precoma, detoxification therapy is performed - removing alcohol from the blood. The introduction of metabolic correctors eliminates the effect of alcohol on the cardiovascular system and stabilizes the patient’s internal state. Hospitalization is mandatory. Precomatose states can be caused by various chronic diseases. This can lead to disruption of the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and other organs, which can lead to serious consequences.
