Question
Answer
EtOH: Always assume:   other drugs may be involved  
🗑
Blood EtOH usu measured on:   whole blood (serum levels 12% higher than whole blood)  
🗑
EtOH PK   clearance by zero-order kinetics (constant rate); half life: 18 mg/dL/hr  
🗑
EtOh detection window   blood: 1.5-12 hr (urine an extra 1-2 hrs); urine assays less reliable  
🗑
EtOH correlation: Partition Ratio:   Breath is 1; Urine is 1.3; Blood is 2100 (avg. range 1300:1 to 3100:1)  
🗑
EtOH test methods   Alcohol dehydrogenase: all alcohols (quant); GLC: quant & qualitative  
🗑
Chronic alcohol use: labs   macrocytosis; anemia (later); high AST, ALT, GGT, CDT  
🗑
Substance abuse testing:   no universal requirement for informed consent; pt safety & tx comes first  
🗑
DHHS guidelines for testing drugs:   Amphetamines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates & PCP; workplace cut-off levels may not be appropriate for clinical setting  
🗑
Urine drug test methods   Immunoassay; GC-MS (HPLC)  
🗑
Drug test: Immunoassay   fast; large-scale screening; false pos & req confirm by HPLC  
🗑
Drug test: HPLC   accurate; time consuming; expensive  
🗑
Opiates   Natl: heroin & hydrocodone; synthetic: meperidine & methadone (less detectable)  
🗑
Horse tranquilizer:   PCP  
🗑
Serum drug screen   for OD/EtOH; 1 mL min, green top tube; tests: Acetaminophen; Salicylate; Tricyclics; Ethanol  
🗑
Drug with longest detection time:   Benzo or THC  
🗑
Drugs with lowest/highest detection thresholds:   Lowest: THC; highest: amphetamine  
🗑
Blood EtOH usually measured on:   whole blood (serum levels 12% higher than whole blood)  
🗑
Chronic alcohol use: labs   macrocytosis; anemia (later); high AST, ALT, GGT, CDT
