METHOD FOR NOMINAL EVALUATION OF ETHANOLEMIA BY ETHANOL CONCENTRATION IN CORPSE'S MUSCULAR TISSUE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for nominal evaluation of ethanolemia by the ethanol concentration in corpse's muscular tissue involves measuring the ethanol concentration in corpse's muscular tissue with regard to the prescription of death, death type and a period of storage of sampled muscular tissue, and the ethanolemia is calculated by formula: where C_nominal is the nominal ethanolemia, ‰; DNS is the prescription of death, days; D_x is the period of sample storage, weeks; C_muscle is the ethanol concentration in muscle, ‰; K is a conversion coefficient selected on the strength of the death type: 0.665 - strangulated asphyxia; 0.675 - death caused large blood loss; 0.692 - death caused by hypothermia; 0.721 - pulmonary death type; 0.645 - other death types in view of the borders limiting the target ethanolemia by formula: 0.953xC_nominal -0.307≤C_x≤1.047xC_nominal +0.307, where C_nominal is the nominal ethanolemia, ‰; C_x is the actual ethanolemia, ‰.

EFFECT: method enables evaluation of the ethanolemia by the ethanol concentration in corpse's muscular tissue in case of incomplete putrid biotransformation, and impossible use of the instrumental examination.
