  1. For Widmark’s equation, this is the correct equation to employ for estimating the combined uncertainty (standard deviation). Based on the assumed values presented in table 1 of my paper, I obtained a com-bined uncertainty of 0.0255 g/100 mL which corres-ponds to a CV of 21.2%. Searle is correct in that.

  2. During the early part of this century, E.M.P. Widmark, a Swedish physician, did much of the foundational research regarding alcohol pharmacokinetics in the human body. In addition, he developed an algebraic equation allowing one to estimate any one of six variables given the other five.

  3. Sep 1, 2017 · Using the standard deviations that are known for the values v (volume), z (concentration), d (density) and common general error propagation (GEP) methodology it is possible to determine the standard deviation of the amount of pure alcohol consumed (A) using Eq.

  4. Blood alcohol calculations originated in the 1920s with the pioneering work of Widmark, 1 who noticed, whilst developing the micro-analysis of alcohol, that the results were always higher than might be expected from a simple dilution calculation.

  5. 6 calculated that the mean density (± Standard deviation (SD)) of ethanol is 0.78974 ± 7 0.00059 g/cm 3 (% coefficient of variance (CV) = 0.07481). Thus, it would be more 8 accurate to use these values both in calculations using the Widmark factor and for 9 calculation of uncertainty when using the Widmark equation. 10 11 3.

  6. Oct 2, 2007 · Uncertainty estimates are presented that rely on methods of general error propagation compared to a method developed by Widmark. Assuming reasonable variable and uncertainty estimates, the error propagation method yielded for N = 10.4 drinks, a combined uncertainty (standard deviation) of 1.3 drinks (CV = 12.3%).

  8. Jan 1, 2024 · According to Widmark’s equation, an individual’s BAC is determined by multiplying the ounces of alcohol consumed by a constant factor, 3.75 for men and 4.7 for women, and then dividing by their weight. In particular, the Widmark equation overestimates the BAC by up to 50–100% or more for cases involving heavy drinking.
