title: Detection of blood benzodiazepines in injured people. Relationship with alcoholism.
abstract: 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.
