Abstract

While in intensive medicine the somatic detoxication of suicidal intoxications and the methiazol chloride treatment (distraneurine) of delirious conditions belong to everyday work, outside psychiatric institutions the judgement and the immediate measures in all other acute psychopathological syndromes are still accompanied by uncertainty and sight differenciation. For the emergency therapy the cause-unspecific diagnosis of a syndrome must often be sufficient. The mode of effect, the differences of the indication and side-effects of the psycholeptics which are to be applied in psychiatric emergency cases are summarizingly described. Physostigmine is therapeutically too little used as an antidote against ethanol and ethyl chloride spray for the interruption of conversion-neurotic attacks and excitation conditions. On the other hand distraneurine is contra-indicated in alcohol intoxications without delirious symptomatology.
