Effects of acute ethanol intoxication combined with secobarbital abuse on hemostasis.
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 0.5 ml of 46% ETOH, 2.8 mg/kg of secobarbital or 14.3 mg/kg secobarbital or combinations thereof. Twenty-four hours following treatment, blood clotting data was determined. The data indicated that either ethanol or secobarbital alone is just as detrimental to hemostasis as is the combined abuse of both. Likewise, a lesser concentration of alcohol was just as disruptive on hemostasis as was the greater concentration of ethanol.
