Alcohol usage is an integral causal factor in all types of trauma. Additionally, both the acute and to a much greater extent chronic usage of alcohol impair the body's normal physiologic responses to injury. Emergency physicians are painfully aware of the relationship between alcohol and trauma. However, we occasionally fail to appreciate the body's altered response and physical state due to alcohol. We frequently fail to use this opportunity to confront patients with the fact that they have a problem and refer them appropriately to rehabilitation programs.
饮酒是所有类型创伤的一个不可或缺的因果因素。此外，急性饮酒以及在更大程度上的慢性饮酒都会损害身体对损伤的正常生理反应。急诊医生深切意识到酒精与创伤之间的关系。然而，我们有时未能认识到酒精导致的身体反应和身体状态的改变。我们常常没有利用这个机会让患者面对他们存在问题这一事实，并适当地将他们转介到康复项目中。
