[Cyanamide-ethanol reaction induced shock: report of a case and literature review].
Cyanamide is a known alcohol deterrent, and it may cause severe cyanamide-ethanol reaction if a patient consumes high amounts of alcohol during treatment. We report a rare case of cyanamide-ethanol reaction-induced shock in a 73-year-old man who was taking cyanamide for the treatment of alcohol dependence. The patient complained of acute onset of dyspnea after drinking. ⋯ In general, in the treatment of cyanamide-ethanol reaction-induced shock, adrenaline or noradrenaline should be used instead of dopamine. Some cases of severe cyanamide-ethanol reactions have been recently reported in Japan. We performed a literature review and have discussed these cases in the text.
