Background: Postmortem redistribution (PMR) refers to the changes that may occur in drug concentrations after death. Consequently, postmortem concentrations in blood may not always replicate the antemortem drug levels. Literature supports the model describing drugs with a liver (L) concentration to peripheral blood (P) concentration ratio less than 5 (L/kg) being prone to little or no PMR. Conv...

متن کاملEvaluation of an onsite alcohol testing device for use in postmortem forensic toxicology.
The disposable QED saliva alcohol test provides a very simple, fast, and reliable means for quantitative onsite alcohol detection. The purpose of this study was to determine if the QED test would be a useful tool for the determination of postmortem ethanol levels in cases where a rapid result was needed. QED results were compared with ethanol levels determined by headspace GC analysis. Both sal...
