Hyperventilation against alcohol poisoning

Doctors do not have many possibilities to treat acute alcohol poisoning. Mainly they stabilize the patient and wait until the liver clears up the poisoning. Now a new method has been tested with a few people in which alcohol levels are reduced via the lungs three times faster by controlled CO2 stabilizing hyperventilation (to prevent dizziness). More tests are needed.
