Alkoholintoxikation im Kindesalter
(1981) In Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin. Journal of legal medicine 86(4). p.269-276- Abstract
- This study is based on 116 blood alcohol estimations of intoxicated children up to 14 years of age; all these children recovered after several hours of clinical treatment. In 84 cases the data about the anamnesis, the neurological symptoms, and the clinical course could be evaluated in detail. The average age of children was 10 years; most of them (60%) were 11--14 years old. Sex distribution: 4 male: 1 female. The average blood alcohol concentration was 1.4% at the moment of blood sampling; it ranged between 0.5 and 2.9%. No constant correlation was found between the blood alcohol concentration of the children, their age, sex, and the intoxication symptoms. As a result of this study it may be stated that there seems to be no special... (More)

As a result of this study it may be stated that there seems to be no special intolerance for alcohol during infancy. Specific aspects of the alcohol intoxication of children, i.e., the rapid passage through the stadium of excitation may be explained by the very short drinking time and the relatively large amount of alcohol ingestion combined with no experience about the effects of C2H5OH.

Es wurden die Ergebnisse von 116 Blutalkoholbestimmungen in Fällen klinisch behandelter und sämtlich überlebter Alkoholvergiftungen von Kindern bis zu 14 Jahren ausgewertet. In 84 Fällen war die nähere Untersuchung der Anamnese, der klinischen Symptomatik und des Verlaufes möglich. Jungen waren deutlich häufiger betroffen als Mädchen (Verhältnis 4:1). Das durchschnittliche Alter der Kinder betrug etwa 10 Jahre. Die Mehrzahl der Alkoholintoxikationen (60%) fand sich in der Gruppe der 11-bis 14jährigen. Die mittlere Blutalkoholkonzentration der unter klinischen Gesichtspunkten ausgewerteten 84 Fälle betrug 1,4permil zum Entnahmezeitpunkt (Spannweite zwischen 0,5 und 2,9permil).

Es wurden die Ergebnisse von 116 Blutalkoholbestimmungen in Fällen klinisch behandelter und sämtlich überlebter Alkoholvergiftungen von Kindern bis zu 14 Jahren ausgewertet. In 84 Fällen war die nähere Untersuchung der Anamnese, der klinischen Symptomatik und des Verlaufes möglich. Jungen waren deutlich häufiger betroffen als Mädchen (Verhältnis 4:1). Das durchschnittliche Alter der Kinder betrug etwa 10 Jahre. Die Mehrzahl der Alkoholintoxikationen (60%) fand sich in der Gruppe der 11-bis 14jährigen. Die mittlere Blutalkoholkonzentration der unter klinischen Gesichtspunkten ausgewerteten 84 Fälle betrug 1,4permil zum Entnahmezeitpunkt (Spannweite zwischen 0,5 und 2,9permil). Unter der klinischen Behandlung wurden die Kinder regelmäßig innerhalb weniger Stunden unauffällig. Es ließ sich keine regelmäßige Zuordnung zwischen Alter, Geschlecht, Blutalkoholkonzentration und Trunkenheitssymptomatik feststellen. Besonderheiten des kindlichen Rausches wie beispielsweise das schnelle Durchlaufen des excitatorischen Stadiums werden durch das sturztrunkartige Trinkverhalten, die relativ große Trinkmenge und die fehlende Alkoholgewöhnung erklärt — nicht etwa durch eine ganz besondere Empfindlichkeit des kindlichen Organismus gegenüber C2H5OH.
