COSTILLA GARCIA, Edgard Luis  e  MEJIA SUTTI, Annie Magali. Gas chromatography determination, the ratio of ethanol in value vitreous humor/blood in necropsied the Morgue of Cusco. Horiz. Med. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp.34-38. ISSN 1727-558X.

In order to determine the value of the ethanol ratio in vitreous humor and blood in autopsied cadavers in the Morgue of Cusco, cross-sectional study was performed postmortem, establishing the amount of ethanol and its correlation. The study included 45 bodies on which they took samples were stored at 4°C and processed by gas chromatography. The correlation coefficient was 0.990, ethanol showing a very good correlation. Ethanol ratio in vitreous / blood mood was 1.09. We conclude that the routine determination of ethanol in vitreous humor consitituye a good way to ratify the value determined ethanol in blood, especially when there is suspicion of contamination of the blood.
