Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the trauma population. Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are standard of care for AWS; however, given risk delirium BZDs reports BZD-refractory withdrawal, phenobarbital (PHB) has emerged as an alternative therapy AWS. Safety efficacy studies PHB AWS patients lacking. Our aim was to compare a BZD versus protocol management patients.
