Question 5
How to estimate the concentration of methanol as well as other alcohols concentration level?
Alcohols Concentration Estimation
Estimated Conc = Osmol gap X MW / 10
Osmol gap = (measured – calculated)
osmolality
Calculated Osmolality =
2 X Na + BUN/2.8 + Glucose / 18 + ( ethanol/ 4.6 )
MW: Ethanol = 46 Ethylene glycol = 62
Isopropanol = 60 Methanol = 32
