Premise: This observation was based in part on the results of a national survey of trauma centers which revealed that blood alcohol testing, which is often a precursor for any intervention, was routinely conducted at only 64 percent of centers despite a published guideline by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons indicating that testing was an essential characteristic for those centers.

Hypothesis: The testing of blood alcohol levels is mandatory although not practiced quite as much as it should be.
Relation: neutral
