About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY - ETHYL ALCOHOL". This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Ethyl alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that can impair judgment, coordination, and motor skills. It is also a psychoactive substance that can cause changes in mood and behavior. In forensic toxicology, the presence and concentration of ethyl alcohol in biological specimens can be used to determine if a person was under the influence of alcohol at the time of an incident.

LOWERS INHIBITIONS In one study of unplanned pregnancies in 14-21 year olds, 1/3 of the girls who had gotten pregnant had been drinking when they had sex; 91% of them reported that the sex was unplanned. Half of all newly-reported AIDS cases are for young people ages 14-21…

ALCOHOL DISTRIBUTESONLY TO WATERY AREAS
Slide 27-

ONE DRINK IS EQUAL TO.. ONE
Slide 28-

Maximum blood-alcohol concentrations in the blood may not be reached until after time of consumption TO 90 MIN IS AVERAGE
Slide 29-

Under NORMAL SOCIAL DRINKING conditions It takes anywhere from 30 – 90 minutes from the time of the final drink until absorption is complete
Slide 30-

Since alcohol is distributed through the watery portions of the body Other organs may be tested for alcohol
Slide 31-

ELIMINATION OF “BURN-OFF” RATE 0.015% - 0.020% w/v per hour (0.015% is .015 g alcohol per 100 ml blood) 1 – 1½ DRINKS PER HOUR
Slide 32-

OXIDATION AROUND 95% OF ALCOHOL THAT ENTERS THE BODY IS OXIDIZED IN THE LIVER Alcohol → acetaldehyde → acetic acid→ CO2 + H2O
Slide 33-

EXCRETION Is the elimination of alcohol in UNCHANGED STATE 5%

Blood Alcohol Content

Measuring Breath for BAC Amount of Alcohol EXHALED is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to the Concentration of alcohol in the BLOOD
Slide 36-

Two ways to measure alcoholin the body: INDIRECT METHOD DIRECT METHOD:

Alcohol travels through the body: 20% of alcohol is Absorbed from walls of stomach To veins
Slide 40-

80% passes from walls of small intestine to Veins to liver (Small intestine)

In ALVEOLI oxygen enters the blood and CO2 leaves it
Slide 43-

At 340 C The ratio of alcohol in the blood To alcohol in the alveoli is 2100:1
Slide 44-

1 ml of blood contains the Same amount of alcohol as 2100 ml alveolar breath
Slide 45-

DURING ABSORPTION: CONCENTRATION OF ALCOHOL IN ARTERIAL BLOOD WILL BE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN VENOUS BLOOD (dark red color) During elimination, venous blood has higher BAC
Slide 46-

THE BREATHALYZER Measures ALCOHOL CONTENT of ALVEOLAR BREATH
Slide 47-

THE BREATHALYZER INDIRECTLY MEASURES THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL CONSUMED BY MEASURING THE ABSORPTION OF LIGHT USING A SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Slide 48-

HOW IT WORKS: 16 H+(aq) + Cr2O72-(aq) + 3 C2H5OH(l) → (orange) (alcohol) 4 Cr3+(aq) + 3 CH3COOH(aq) + 11 H2O(l) (green) UNUSED ORANGE MIXES WITH GREEN PRODUCED TO MAKE A BLUE SOLUTION
Slide 49-

In other words…. ORANGE + ALCOHOL → GREEN (Cr2O72-(aq)) Little or no alcohol: ORANGE Some alcohol: BLUE (orange + green ) A lot of alcohol: GREEN or GREENISH BLUE The HIGHER the concentration of alcohol, the LOWER the concentration of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)

HOMICIDE BY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE Section 3735 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code Any person who unintentionally causes the death of another person as the result of… driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance and who is convicted of violating [the law regarding driving under the influence] is guilty of a felony of the second degree when the violation is the cause of death. The penalty is a mandatory sentence of 3-10 years incarceration and consecutive 3-10 year terms for each victim whose death is a result. The fine may be as high as $25,000 per victim.

More than 1,700 college students in the U.S. are killed each year—about 4.65 a day— as a result of alcohol- related injuries.

Alcohol poisoning most often occurs as a result of the rapid intake of alcohol, also known as binge drinking. This high amount of alcohol can lead to seizures, choking, an irregular heart beat and even death.
Slide 74-

Signs of Alcohol Poisoning Confusion Slow reflexes Unable to communicate effectively Slurring in speech Rapid pulse Feeling sick, vomiting Dehydration Unconsciousness Moist, clammy skin Inability to walk Pale, blue colored skin
Slide 75-

What are the Effects of Alcohol Poisoning? The effects of alcohol poisoning can be devastating, especially if the drinker becomes unconscious. In fact, numerous deaths have occurred as a result of an unconscious person choking on their own vomit or breathing in vomit. Possible effects of alcohol poisoning include: Irregular heart beat Choking (from vomiting) Coma Decrease in body temperature (hypothermia) Brain damage Seizure Strange breathing patterns Inhalation of vomit causing a halt in breathing patterns (asphyxiation) Death
Slide 76-

5 Steps to Take if Someone You Know Has Alcohol Poisoning Call 911 or a local poison control center if you think someone you know has alcohol poisoning. Stay with the person. Never leave a severely intoxicated person alone. Turn the person onto their side to prevent choking if vomiting occurs. Monitor breathing levels. If you know CPR, be prepared to use this skill in case of an emergency. Continually try to revive the person if they are passed out.
