Injected into the individual nerve root or ganglion. The needle tip should ideally be located by radiographic or fluoroscopic means prior to dose delivery. Methanol poisoning A loading dose of 600 – 800mg/kg should be given. If used parenterally this should be in the form of 7.5ml/kg of a 10% infusion of Ethanol in 5% Glucose Solution for Infusion. The infusion should be given over

30minutes preferably via a central venous catheter. The standard maintenance dose, for an average patient is 120-138mg of 100% ethanol/kg/hr (1.38ml of 10% ethanol/kg/hr) by the IV route. Blood monitoring should occur every 12hours until a concentration of 1-1.5g/L is reached and thereafter at 2-4hourly intervals. After the loading dose maintenance concentrations should be reduced dependant on the normal drinking habits of the patient and any other concomitant treatments. Patients treated with Ethanol require close monitoring preferably in a critical care area because of the risk of CNS and respiratory depression. Amount Absolut e (100%) Ethanol 600 800mg/ kg
