Abstract
Acute intravenous infusion of ethanol 2.5 g/kg body wt, over 15 min in nonanesthetized dogs resulted in impairment of left ventricular function. The blood concentration of alcohol declined more rapidly in dogs treated by hemodialysis than in control dogs or in dogs with a temporary peripheral arteriovenous fistulae. Hemodialysis caused a rapid reversal of the adverse effects of ethanol upon left ventricular function and expedited recovery of consciousness in intoxicated dogs.
