In these case reports, blood alcohol levels were taken immediately before delivery, at delivery, and postdelivery for 2 mothers who drank alcohol during their pregnancies and 3 single-birth newborns. Newborn A1 of Mother A had no physical characteristics of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The initial blood alcohol level for this newborn was 38.4 mg\/dL 129 minutes after birth, with a subsequent blood alcohol level of 5.5 mg\/dL 304 minutes after delivery, resulting in an alcohol elimination rate of 11.3 mg\/dL per hour. The blood alcohol level for Mother A was 87.4 mg\/dL 66 minutes before delivery. Newborn A2 of mother A had FAS. Sixty minutes after delivery, the blood alcohol level for this newborn was 39.5 mg\/dL, and the alcohol level of the mother was 42.1 mg\/dL. Newborn B1 of mother B had FAS. At 67 minutes after birth, newborn B1 had a blood alcohol level of 246.5 mg\/dL, which dropped to 178.7 mg\/dL 302 minutes after birth, resulting in an alcohol elimination rate of 17.3 mg\/dL per hour. This alcohol elimination rate is within the metabolism range (15\u201349 mg\/dL per hour) of adults with alcoholism. The maternal blood alcohol level was 265.9 mg\/dL 27 minutes before delivery. Blood alcohol levels drawn on both the mother and newborn at delivery and 2 or 3 hourly follow-up levels can provide evidence that fetal alcohol dehydrogenase activity is induced by chronic maternal alcohol use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2011-1400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,11]],"date-time":"2012-09-11T04:29:55Z","timestamp":1347337795000},"page":"e1015-e1018","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Blood Alcohol Levels for American Indian Mothers and Newborns"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"130","author":[{"given":"Valborg L.","family":"Kvigne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service, Aberdeen, South Dakota; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brad","family":"Randall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota, Sioux Falls, South Dakota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward G.","family":"Simanton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota, Sioux Falls, South Dakota"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Brenneman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service, Aberdeen, South Dakota; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas K.","family":"Welty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service, Aberdeen, South Dakota; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"2021120900282053700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(72)90483-8","article-title":"Elimination and metabolic effects of ethanol in mother, fetus, and newborn infant.","volume":"112","author":"Id\u00e4np\u00e4\u00e4n-Heikkil\u00e4","year":"1972","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"7710","key":"2021120900282053700_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1188","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(71)91702-8","article-title":"Ethanol elimination in a mother and her premature twins.","volume":"1","author":"Sepp\u00e4l\u00e4","year":"1971","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"issue":"2","key":"2021120900282053700_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(83)91050-5","article-title":"Disposition of ethanol in human maternal venous blood and amniotic fluid.","volume":"146","author":"Brien","year":"1983","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"3","key":"2021120900282053700_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1987.tb01308.x","article-title":"Developmental changes in alcohol pharmacokinetics in rats.","volume":"11","author":"Kelly","year":"1987","journal-title":"Alcohol Clin Exp Res"},{"key":"2021120900282053700_B5","volume-title":"Alcohol and the Fetus","author":"Rosett","year":"1984"},{"key":"2021120900282053700_B6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-7216-0693-4.50036-0","article-title":"Ethanol","volume-title":"Haddad and Winchester's Clinical Management of Poisoning and Drug Overdose","author":"Kleinschmidt","year":"2007","edition":"4th ed."}],"container-title":["Pediatrics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article-pdf\/130\/4\/e1015\/1087637\/peds_2011-1400.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article-pdf\/130\/4\/e1015\/1087637\/peds_2011-1400.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,9]],"date-time":"2021-12-09T04:37:13Z","timestamp":1639024633000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article\/130\/4\/e1015\/30189\/Blood-Alcohol-Levels-for-American-Indian-Mothers"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1542\/peds.2011-1400","relation":{},"ISSN":["0031-4005","1098-4275"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0031-4005","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-4275","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,1]]}}}
