blood alcohol breathalyzer

Ethanol = alcohol. < 1.0 sounds like a reference range or cut off level for detection. Is this in relation to a urine test?

A breathalyzer measures the alcohol in your breath and then the reading is an estimate of your blood alcohol content. Having low RBC (from treatment drugs, for example) may raise the result. I'm not aware of liver disease itself causing any variation in readings. My RBCs are low and the last hemoglobin a1c I had done (I'm T1 diabetic) was 0.037 which I can tell you for sure, is EXTREMELY low. However, this measurement is an average of three months.

I worked until 10am and started coughing again. Took some Robitussin. The supervisor said he could smell alcohol on my breath (my wife and car pool people could not). Had company breathalyzer. Registered a .048. I was terminated. How could I have registered on the breathalyzer? I have the liver damage. Haven't had a phlebotomy for quite some time. Don't know what my hematocrit level is.

alcohol is not detected in urine.......drugs are.Alcohol content in blood is calibrated with a breathalyzer machine and depending on how long you drank for and within a certain time frame it can show up within a 24 hr.period.Alcohol is metabolized in the body in two ways-carbon dioxide......breathing it out of your system when it has gone thru the bloodstream and then the system flushes it in urination.

Does barretts cause skewed results when patient is given a blood alcohol breathalyzer test?

does alcohol get into your blood stream faster or stay in your blood longer? I absolutely did not think I was even close to drunk & yet I failed the breathalyzer. my court date is in several days. HELP.

does hep c affect the results of a blood alcohol test, I mean, does it stay in your system longer?

He performed a breathalyzer test on the gentleman who cooperated fully, and to his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no eveidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all! Dumfounded, the officer said,'I'll have to ask you to accompany me to headquarters. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.' 'I doubt it,' said the now not so drunk man. 'Tonight I'm the designated decoy.

hello. absolutely. even a small amount of alcohol. a breathalyzer reading would not be altered, but if you are this concerned, you are probably being impaired by the combination enough to be dangerous behind the wheel.

I have had two doctors run blood tests on me and both times they showed completely negative for alcohol. Does anyone know anything else that could cause a high score for alcohol in the urine test but negative (0)on my blood tests.

oops sorry i did!ok i broke this down into US measurement of ounces in a pint and your weight and time frame consumed in....if u'd been driving ur blood alcohol would be in the .12 range which is a good range of being buzzed....someone could've put something in ur drink...its always possible...especially if u went 2 the loo and left the open bottle or glass on the bar!

I've been court ordered to use a breathalyzer device called Soberlink.I was wondering if anyone has also used it or knows anything about it at all?

BAC would be in hours spent drinking, body weight and number of drinks consumed in a certain timeframe.Your blood alcohol level would've been @ .32!that is triple the legal limit for intoxication!did u drive urself home?

m 100% certain he was in no way drunk at all. His blood alcohol level did not get back to 0 until 1am...about 24 hours before he went to bed the night before.

I am 32 and alcoholic of about 9 yrs. But started getting cold chills only once or twice a month and sweating weather I have drank anything or not. When I don't eat its worse but my blood sugar seems to always be kind of in range but fluctuates a lot. I did have to go to the Er before because I hadn't drank in days and a breathalyzer said differently so they gave me a blood test nothing in my system...

I have chronic sinusitis, had the surgery several yrs ago, and it has returned. Be forewarned it is a horrible surgery and an even worse recovery. I would have rather given birth without drugs 3 more times, lol. Actually my sinus infections and ALL of the symptoms you've stated are caused by to much yeast in me. Look into dysbiosis, yeast syndrome, yeast overload, and chronic candidiasis especially if you've been on any kind of antibiotics or steroids (corticosteroids, predinisone, etc).

The officer had me do the alcohol test. I did a breathelizer and passed 100 percent. They took my car searched it before he impounded it. It took me over month to get my stuff back: Bank Card, Credit Card, Drivers License, Car, Car Keys and other keys. And he took my subscription drug "Suboxone". I really needed them but he would not give them back. I had a friend go pick up my stuff as i was over 200 miles away, he told her if I was there he would not give me my medicine!

One of the best tests I ever heard of is the two drink test. Can you feel comfortable having just two drinks and then stop without wanting another one? Not one, not a bunch, but just two? Alcoholism involves not just drinking but our reaction to alcohol. I'm an alcoholic. Once I start all bets are off. The first drink will make me want more; the first drink technically is the one that gets me looped in that manner.

On the first ER visit they did a chest x ray, spirometry test, blood work ( D-Dimer, CBC, CMP, and Venous Blood Gasses which all came back normal, so I was told to follow up with my Primary. Than I saw my primary and he thought maybe it was my GERD since I am not currently on any medicaation for it, and along with the Shortness of BReath I have been having bloating, stomach acid, and tenderness on upper abdomen....

I went back to Urgent Care and they gave me a couple of breathing treatments, one was a nebulizer, the other was like an alcohol breath test like I see on TV (I had to take a deep breath and blow out for a few seconds). They took an additional set of chest/lung x-rays. A little while later they came to tell me they were sending me to the emergency room because they thought my heart was enlarged (bigger than its normally supposed to be), high blood pressure, and pneumonia.

t check for drugs via breathalyzer, only alcohol. Law enforcement is moving away from breathalyzer tests until they can come up with drug testing due to the legalization of marijuana. And, having MS, some of use the drug medicinally anyway. We will have rules about that for legal limits etc. as soon as they figure out how to do that to. ...Meanwhile... As I said, long story short... inconvenient and very embarrassing.

I am not too familiar with blood alcohol, but I would think that maybe you could have been dehydrated and that could have caused the reading. Try drinking more water next time.

I go down from 20 to 15 mg tomorrow. No wds...when i began, the clinic dr told me i could have a max of 2 drinks per day, and not to drive. They just changed from oral swab testing to urine tests. Once they did this, i tested positive for alcohol. My first "dirty" test in almost a year. They are penalizing me one "take-home."man this is making me want to drop my dose and get off this stuff ASAP! So ready to stop having to dose all the time!!!

So this is truly a life journey for him as well as his father and I. He has always done well with maintaining blood sugar levels. HbA1C have been excellent throughout his 14 years of having them done. Now going into his second year of high school, our son is become somewhat angry about his regime and his lot in life. Do you know of any books that would be good for him/us to read as we get through this?

Hi alcohol can cause low blood sugar levels for some due to its effect on the liver. But even more it can cause those person with diabetes to pay less attention to their health and blood sugars. This does not mean you can never drink alcohol, But it should be taken in moderation only. When you do have a first drink (remember moderation) do it in the company of a trusted friend so you can safely see the effect it has on you.
