Abstract

Continuous-registration curves of ethanol concentration in blood and breath were obtained from five male test subjects. An attempt was made to monitor the ethanol infusion rate by determining the ethanol concentration in the breath. The measurement results showed individually different negative deviations in the converted breath-ethanol curve as compared with the blood-ethanol curve. The blood-breath-ethanol correlation factor and measurement problems are discussed as possible sources of these deviations.
