acute musculoskeletal injury pain alcohol intoxication acetaminophen NSAID clinical guidance

Do not give an opioid, tramadol, benzodiazepine, or sedating muscle relaxant to someone who has consumed alcohol because of additive respiratory and CNS depression.

With RBS 300 mg/dL, the person needs urgent clinical assessment today, especially if they have vomiting, abdominal pain, deep/rapid breathing, drowsiness, confusion, dehydration, fever, or cannot keep fluids down. Check ketones, electrolytes, renal function, and look for infection or diabetic ketoacidosis/hyperosmolar state. A tendon injury also needs examination and often splinting to exclude rupture.

For pain while awaiting assessment:

Best low-systemic-risk option: diclofenac gel 1% topical, applied to intact skin only over the painful area, typically 2 g for upper limb or 4 g for lower limb, four times daily (follow the specific product label). Do not use on an open wound, broken skin, or near a planned surgical site. Topical NSAIDs are effective for acute non-low-back musculoskeletal pain with fewer systemic adverse effects than oral NSAIDs. Evidence summary
Use rest/protection, ice 15-20 minutes at a time, elevation, and immobilization/splinting. This reduces pain and can prevent additional tendon damage.

Avoid giving oral ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, ketorolac, or aspirin until a clinician checks hydration and kidney function, because glucose of 300 can accompany dehydration or renal impairment. Alcohol also raises GI bleeding risk with NSAIDs.

Avoid paracetamol/acetaminophen if the person is heavily intoxicated, drinks heavily or chronically, has liver disease, is malnourished, or may have taken another acetaminophen-containing product. Do not combine it with alcohol without clinician advice.

If there is deformity, inability to actively move the involved joint/digit, a cut over the tendon, numbness, a pale/cold limb, or severe escalating pain, go to the emergency department immediately.

ketorolac intramuscular safety

Searching the Web

ketorolac injection prescribing information IM repeat dose interval renal impairment dehydration alcohol contraindications

Ketonov is usually ketorolac, an NSAID. Because this person has recent alcohol intake and RBS 300 mg/dL, I would not repeat the IM injection without in-person medical review. Hyperglycemia can mean dehydration or kidney impairment, which makes ketorolac more likely to cause acute kidney injury; alcohol also increases stomach bleeding risk.

If a clinician has assessed them, confirmed they are hydrated with acceptable renal function, and the ampoule was 30 mg ketorolac, standard adult repeat dosing is:

30 mg IM every 6 hours as needed
Maximum 120 mg in 24 hours if age under 65, weight at least 50 kg, and normal kidney function.
If age 65 or older, weight under 50 kg, or any renal impairment: 15 mg IM every 6 hours, maximum 60 mg in 24 hours.

Ketorolac must be used for no more than 5 days total and must not be combined with ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, aspirin, or other NSAIDs. The manufacturer advises against increasing the dose or frequency for breakthrough pain. FDA ketorolac label

Important: do not repeat it if there is vomiting, poor urine output, dehydration, abdominal pain, black stools/blood in vomit, kidney disease, ulcer/previous GI bleed, blood thinner use, NSAID allergy/asthma reaction, or pregnancy.

With glucose around 300 mg/dL, seek urgent assessment now, particularly if there is nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, marked thirst/urination, drowsiness, confusion, rapid/deep breathing, or ketones.

sulfonylurea hypoglycemia management

CDC low blood sugar 15 grams carbohydrates recheck 15 minutes sulfonylurea hypoglycemia emergency guidance

No. A fasting glucose of 44 mg/dL is clinically significant hypoglycemia even if there are no symptoms. Lack of symptoms may indicate hypoglycemia unawareness, and glucose can fall again, particularly with insulin-secretagogue tablets such as glimepiride, gliclazide, glibenclamide/glyburide, or glipizide.

If the patient is awake, cooperative, and can swallow safely:

Give 15-20 g fast-acting glucose now, not just a large mixed meal. Examples:
- 4 glucose tablets if each contains 4 g
- 1 tube glucose gel, according to its label
- 150-200 mL regular fruit juice or non-diet soft drink
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey dissolved/taken orally
Recheck capillary glucose after 15 minutes.
- If still below 70 mg/dL, give another 15-20 g fast carbohydrate and recheck in another 15 minutes.
Once glucose is above 70 mg/dL and rising, give a substantial breakfast or snack containing longer-acting carbohydrate plus protein, for example bread/roti with egg, milk/yogurt, or peanut butter.

The 15-15 approach is supported by NIDDK guidance. Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine also recommends 15-20 g glucose, repeated after 15 minutes if hypoglycemia persists.

Urgent ED evaluation is appropriate now if any of these apply:

Repeat glucose remains below 70 after treatment, or it drops again
Confusion, seizure, fainting, inability to swallow, vomiting, or reduced consciousness
The drug is a sulfonylurea or tablet type is unknown
Older age, kidney/liver disease, missed meals, alcohol intake, or no reliable adult to observe the patient
No ability to check glucose repeatedly for the next several hours

Do not give food or liquids by mouth if drowsy, confused, seizing, or unable to swallow. Use glucagon if available and call emergency services.

The next diabetes tablet dose should not be taken until the prescribing clinician has reviewed the episode and the exact OHA regimen, ideally today. Metformin alone rarely causes hypoglycemia, but sulfonylureas can cause recurrent or prolonged episodes and may require hospital observation.
