Intravenous Fluids and Nutritional Supplements

Dehydration should be corrected through oral and/or intravenous hydration. 

Electrolyte abnormalities should be corrected. In particular, hypomagnesaemia is often reported in patients with alcohol withdrawal delirium, and magnesium administration may help reduce neuromuscular activity and agitation. 

Monitoring of fluid input and output may be required. 

Parenteral thiamine should be administered (see above).
