Özet

Introduction: It is important determination of blood alcohol for a patient especially during traffic accidents. If he or she does a traffic accidents during alcohol effect, insurance agent will not pay any money or automobile because of mixed traffic insurance policy of motor vehicles. In this case we determine, investigate and discuss about these reports. Case: Mr D was injured with traffic accidents. In hospital, Mr. D blood alcohol concentration was measured 0.79 promille. He declared to drink only apple cider without drinking alcohol during 24 hours because of conventional ceremony day. He complained fault due to send laboratory mixing blood or wrong way, cutaneous contamination with desenfectation agents. Discussion: Pathologic alcohol status is seen cirrhotic process or alcohol sensitivity because of genetic status during minor alcohol in taking. It is rarely seen and don't make an mistake for alcohol intoxication. The patient know his status and declared. If he takes lower than 0.50 promille, he don't take any punishment except pathologic alcohol intoxication. A patient have more than 1.00 promille blood alcohol concentration, he make traffic accidents during alcohol effect. This is not generally problem in forensic cases. Although it is generally observe 0.50-1.00 promille alcohol concentration, we need to search neuropathologic status. In our case, it was measured 0.79 promille blood alcohol concentration so we look at patient examination document. We don't understand intoxicated patient with alcohol. Conclusion: We reported that a patient has 0.50-1.00 promille blood alcohol concentration, physician must report neuropsychologic status except pathologic alcohol disease. If patient have alcohol effect on traffic accidents, he punished with this situation and didn't take any insurance guaranties status. It must be reported to patient document about neuropsychologic status after traffic accidents during 24 hours.
