Action

  • Patient presents with history of or signs of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (see Table 3)
  • Assess and manage ABCs as needed
  • Determine level of alcohol withdrawal utilizing the CIWA-Ar scale or other alcohol withdrawal assessment scale (Class I)

Decision

What is the patient’s CIWA-Ar score?
