According to doctors of the Cho Ray Hospital, the patient was rushed to the hospital in a state of semi-consciousness and lost his vital signs.
Family members said the men had consumed "a lot of wine with unclear origins" during a party. After 2 days, he vomited a lot and was in a life-threatening condition by the time he made it to the hospital.
Doctor Do Thi Ngoc Khanh took blood samples from C.A.P and found that the level of methanol in his blood was 90,69 mg/dL.
The doctors diagnosed him with alcohol poisoning, suspected methanol poisoning, and administered emergency rehydration and dialysis.
Thanks to the urgent treatment, the patient had finally recovered to the point that doctors could discharge him from the hospital.
Methanol looks like ethanol, tastes sweeter and is easier to drink. Shortly after drinking, patients will feel drunk. But one to two days later, they experience blurred vision, lethargy, rapid and deep breathing like shortness of breath, and convulsions.
Those symptoms are easily confused with others, leading to late treatment, more serious blindness, coma or death, according to the doctor.
Anti-poison experts recommended that people should limit alcohol consumption to the maximum. When buying alcohol or antiseptic alcohol, they must choose products of clear, guaranteed origin on labels.
