Oral fluid (OF) tests aid in identifying drivers under the influence of drugs. In this study, 17 heavy cannabis users consumed alcohol to achieve steady blood alcohol concentrations of 0 to 0.7 g/L and smoked cannabis 3 h afterward. OF samples were obtained before and up to 4 h after smoking and on-site tests were performed (Dräger DrugTest 5000 and Securetec DrugWipe 5+). Maximum concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) immediately after smoking (up to 44,412 ng/g) were below 4,300 (median 377) ng/g 1 h after smoking and less than 312 (median 88) ng/g 3 h later with 5 of 49 samples negative, suggesting that recent cannabis use might occasionally not be detectable. An influence of alcohol was not observed. Drinking 300 mL variably influenced THC concentrations (median only -29.6%), which suggests that drinking does not markedly affect on-site test performance. Many (92%) Dräger tests performed 4 h after smoking were still positive, indicating sufficient sensitivity for recent cannabis use. Differences in the results of a roadside study with DrugTest 5000 (sensitivity 84.8%, specificity 96.0%, accuracy 84.3%) could be explained by a higher number of true negatives, differences between OF and serum and differences between occasional and chronic users.
唾液(OF)检测有助于识别吸毒的驾驶员。在这项研究中,17 名重度大麻使用者饮酒,使血液酒精浓度稳定在 0 至 0.7 g/L,然后在 3 小时后吸食大麻。在吸烟前和吸烟后 4 小时内采集了 OF 样本,并进行了现场测试(Draeger DrugTest 5000 和 Securetec DrugWipe 5+)。吸烟后即刻(高达 44412 ng/g)的四氢大麻酚(THC)最大浓度(中位数 377 ng/g)在吸烟后 1 小时下降到 312 ng/g(中位数 88 ng/g)以下,5 份样本为阴性,表明最近使用大麻可能偶尔无法检测到。未观察到酒精的影响。饮用 300 毫升的酒精会对 THC 浓度产生影响(中位数仅减少 29.6%),这表明饮酒不会显著影响现场测试的性能。吸烟后 4 小时进行的许多(92%)Draeger 测试仍然呈阳性,表明对最近的大麻使用具有足够的敏感性。与 DrugTest 5000 进行的路边研究结果存在差异(灵敏度 84.8%,特异性 96.0%,准确性 84.3%),这可以用更多的真阴性、OF 和血清之间的差异以及偶尔使用者和慢性使用者之间的差异来解释。
