TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Presence of benzodiazepines in the serum of patients after accidents. Relation to alcoholism JO - Presse Medicale (1983) A1 - Girre, Catherine A1 - Facy, F. A1 - Lagier, Georges A1 - Dally, Sylvain SP - 1135 EP - 1138 VL - 17 IS - 22 N2 - In a study of 2.021 injured persons (accidents at home or at work, road accidents), qualitative assays of serum benzodiazepines by the EMIT method were positive in 9.6 per cent of the cases, including 3.2 per cent who had blood alcohol levels in excess of 0.10 g/l. Benzodiazepines were more frequently found in accidents at home and on roads than in accidents at work. These results raise the question of the role played by benzodiazepines as a possible risk factor of accidents, notably road accidents.
