TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Detection of blood benzodiazepines in injured people. Relationship with alcoholism JO - Drug and alcohol dependence A1 - Dally, Sylvain A1 - Lagier, Georges A1 - Facy, F. A1 - Girre, Catherine SP - 61 EP - 65 VL - 21 IS - 1 N2 - In 2021 accident victims (household, work and road accidents) the qualitative test for benzodiazepines in the serum by the EMIT method was positive in 9.6% of cases, including 3.2% of subjects who also had a blood alcohol level greater than 0.10 milligram. Benzodiazepines were detected with a particularly high frequency in household accidents and road accidents and rarely in work accidents. These results raise the problem of the role of benzodiazepines as a possible risk factor for accidents, particularly road accidents.
