Blood tests or breath tests. Drivers arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Nevada may choose which test to take:
Nevada DUI blood tests
Blood tests are the most reliable method for determining BAC because they involve actually testing the blood itself. Like it sounds, DUI blood tests require a phlebotomist
drawing a blood sample from the driver's vein (usually in the arm) and
sending it to a lab.
In Nevada, it takes several weeks to get the test results.
Nevada DUI breath tests
Breath tests are the most convenient method of measuring BAC because they are quick and non-invasive. The suspect simply breathes into a small machine called a Breathalyzer that analyzes the person's alveolar (deep lung) air. Breath testing machines in Nevada calculate these numbers immediately.
