In 1813, delirium tremens was first thought to be a disease caused by excessive alcoholism. It is now well known that it first occurred 48 hours after chronic abusers suddenly quit alcohol and can last up to 5 days. The prevalence of DT (delirium tremor) in the general population is less than 1% and is close to 2% in alcohol-dependent patients. TD manifests as severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms and delirium accompanied by agitation and sometimes hallucinations. TD evaluation includes evaluating the severity of alcohol withdrawal, evaluating delirium, and detecting possible medical comorbidities. Benzodiazepines are the mainstay of TD treatment. According to the treatment plan and clinical situation, diazepam and lorazepam are the preferred benzodiazepines. In the case of refractory benzodiazepines, phenobarbital, propofol, and dexmedetomidine can be used.
