Variability of the blood/breath alcohol ratio in drinking drivers.
The ratio of blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) to breath-alcohol concentration (BrAC) was determined for 799 individuals apprehended for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in Sweden. The BrAC was determined with an infrared analyzer (Intoxilyzer 5000S) and venous BAC was measured by headspace gas chromatography. The blood samples were always taken after the breath tests were made and ...
متن کاملMedicolegal alcohol determination: variability of the blood- to breath-alcohol ratio and its effect on reported breath-alcohol concentrations.
There is substantial agreement among scientists that the variability of a person's blood- to breath-alcohol ratio contributes significantly to the experimental error in results from breath-alcohol analysis. Some have argued that the need to correct for this source of error can be eliminated by reporting breath test results in units of breath-alcohol concentration rather than blood-alcohol conce...
متن کاملPredictors of breath alcohol concentrations in college parties
BACKGROUND Alcohol use and subsequent consequences are harmful for individual college students. Other students and the university can also be negatively impacted by the consequences of alcohol use. METHOD A field-based study was used to assess the alcohol use environment at college parties. Researchers replicated a previous study by driving and walking a route to identify parties primarily on...
متن کاملA large-scale study of the relationship between blood and breath alcohol concentrations in New Zealand drinking drivers.
Blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) and corresponding breath alcohol concentrations (BrAC) were determined for 21,582 drivers apprehended by New Zealand police. BAC was measured using headspace gas chromatography, and BrAC was determined with Intoxilyzer 5000 or Seres Ethylometre infrared analysers. The delay (DEL) between breath testing and blood sampling ranged from 0.03 to 5.4 h. BAC/BrAC rat...
متن کاملA study of alcohol use by designated drivers among college students.
OBJECTIVE College students tend to drink while serving as a designated driver (DD). The predictors of alcohol use by DDs among college students were examined. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 119 undergraduate students in introductory psychology courses who had experience with DD use. METHODS Survey data were analyzed to examine the predictors of planning components of DD use, such as choosin...
