Legal Blood Alcohol Testing in the U.S. Military.
Military Medicine 2017 January
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze multiple years of legal blood alcohol test (LBAT) results as part of a laboratory process improvement plan.
METHODS: We analyzed the LBAT requests received by the Brooke Army Medical Center during calendar years 2013 and 2014.
RESULTS: We received 365 samples from 11 installations; 351 were tested and 14 were rejected. Nearly one-third of the tested samples had negligible ethanol levels. One installation was responsible for submitting 10 rejected samples which prompted laboratory intervention.
CONCLUSION: The ability to perform timely LBATs is invaluable to the Department of Defense as the results are more readily accepted in a court of law than routine clinical ethanol test results.
