Bɔt di impɔtant tin ya na dat pan ɔl we dɛn kin fil se dɛn nɔ ‘hay’, di alkol we de na dɛn blɔd (BAC) nɔ kin go dɔŋ. Dat min se, i jɔs de chenj di we aw dɛn de fil di bad tin dɛn we rɔm kin du. So, i kin denja fɔ tink se, ‘A nɔ go sik we a drink dat.’ ’ .

Ustɛm dɛn nid fɔ du BAC tɛst?

So, ustɛm i nid fɔ tek dis BAC tɛst? Bɔku rizin dɛn de:

• Fɔ mɛdikal tɛst: Na pɔsin we dɔn drink tumɔs rɔm insay shɔt tɛm, we kin mek i gɛt pɔyzin pan rɔm.Dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz dis tɛst fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt dis sik. Dis kin mek yu layf de pan denja, so fɔ no di sik kwik kwik wan rili impɔtant.

Aw dɛn kin du BAC tɛst? Udat de du am?

Okay, naw mek wi si udat de du dis BAC test en aw. Bɔku tɛm, na pɔsin we dɛn dɔn tren spɛshal fɔ pul blɔd kin du am. Wi kin kɔl dɛn phlebotomist . Bɔt ɛni wɛlbɔdi wokman we dɛn dɔn tren fɔ pul blɔd kin du dis. Dɔn dɛn kin sɛn dis blɔd sɛmpul to wan lɛb. Na de, sayɛnsman dɛn we de wok na di mɛdikal lɛbɔraytri kin yuz spɛshal mashin dɛn (analayza) fɔ du dis tɛst.

Na dis na wetin yu kin ɛkspɛkt we yu gi blɔd:

• Yu go sidɔm na chia. Dɔn di wɛlbɔdi wokman go luk yu an ɛn fɛn wan izi vein fɔ pul blɔd frɔm. Bɔku tɛm, dɛn kin pik wan vein na di insay pat pan di ɛlb.

• Afta dɛn dɔn put di nidul, dɛn kin gɛda smɔl blɔd insay wan tɛst tyub.
• Afta dɛn dɔn tek di blɔd sɛmpul, dɛn kin pul di nidul ɛn put wan kɔtɔn ɔ goz na di sayt fɔ mek di blɔd nɔ kɔmɔt.
• Fɔ dɔn, dɛn kin put smɔl plasta na di say we dɛn de. Na dat, di wok dɔn dɔn!

Dis ɔltin we dɛn kin du kin tek lɛk fayv minit.

Wetin kin apin afta di tɛst?

Afta di wɛlbɔdi wokman tek yu blɔd sɛmpul, dɛn kin sɛn am na di lɛbɔtri. We di tɛst rizɔlt dɔn insay, di pɔsin we ɔda di tɛst (di dɔktɔ ɔ di ɔfisa we gɛt fɔ du wit di tɛst) go tɛl yu bɔt di rizɔlt.

Risk de fɔ BAC tɛst?

Blɔd tɛst na tin we rili kɔmɔn na di mɛdikal fild. Fɔ tru, no big big prɔblɛm nɔ de we kin apin. Yu kin fil smɔl pen ɔ brus usay dɛn pul di blɔd. Bɔt dat go wɛl kwik kwik wan. So natin nɔ de fɔ wɔri bɔt.

Wetin di rizɔlt fɔ di BAC tɛst se?

Di rizɔlt fɔ yu BAC tɛst ripɔt kin apia difrɛn we dɛn, i dipen pan di lab we du di tɛst.

Bɔku tɛm, dɛn kin gi di rizɔlt as di blɔd alkol pasɛnt (BAC pasɛnt). Fɔ ɛgzampul, 0.03% BAC .

sכmtεm dεn kin se bak as gram pan wan mililita (g/mL). So, if wi tek di sem ɛgzampul, di rizɔlt kin bi 0.03 g/100 mL .

Sɔm ɔda ripɔt kin se ‘positiv’ ɔ ‘negative’. Dis min se yu bin gɛt rɔm na yu blɔd ɔ yu nɔ bin gɛt am.

Impɔtant tin na dat, di tɛm we dɛn de du BAC tɛst kin afɛkt di kɔrɛkt we aw di rizɔlt dɛn de. Dis blɔd tɛst kin kɔrɛkt pas ɔl insay 6 to 12 awa afta yu dɔn drink di las tɛm. If yu gɛt ɛni kwɛstyɔn ɔ wɔri bɔt yu rizɔlt, tɔk to yu dɔktɔ ɔ, dipen pan yu sityueshɔn, to lɔya.

Wetin na di ligal BAC limit?

Insay bɔku kɔntri dɛn, di lɔ we se dɛn fɔ drayv fɔ drink rɔm fɔ drayva dɛn we dɔn pas 21 ia naw na 0.08% BAC . Na sɔm ples dɛn, dis limit kin smɔl lɛk 0.05% BAC. Jɔs lɛk ɔl di lɔ dɛn, dɛn lɔ dɛn ya kin chenj.

Insay Sri Lanka, dɛn nɔ gri fɔ drayv we pɔsin dɔn drink rɔm atɔl. If dɛn si se yu dɔn drink rɔm pan breathalyzer tɛst, we di polis dɛn kin yuz, na bad tin we pɔsin kin pɔnish. So, i bɛtɛ lɛ yu nɔ drayv if yu de drink, pas fɔ de wɔnda ‘wetin na di limit?’

Fɔ di wan dɛn we dɔn rich di ej fɔ drink we di lɔ se, fɔ drink smɔl smɔl nɔ kin bi prɔblɛm.
