Approximately 40% to 50% of people seen in trauma centers were drinking at the time of their injuries.Hence,blood alcohol testing should be routinely done for patients admitted to the emergency department for traumatic injuries.Because of the high rate of alcohol involvement in injuries seen in trauma centers,an alcohol blood level would be most important.A cardiac workup,pregnancy test,or STD test would not be the priority.
