Abstract
This lightboard video is the second of three in a series, and linked to the re-enactment of the examination of an intoxicated driver video. This video graphically depicts the metabolism of alcohol as related to the (blood) alcohol curve. This foundational knowledge underscores the principles behind the examination of the intoxicated individual. It touches on aspects related to the timing of the collection of a suitable sample, mostly blood, to analyse the alcohol concentration of an arrested individual. This video can be applicable across health professions from medical students to doctors and nursing staff.
