Whilst not normally considered in either emergency clinical or post-mortem work, there is much interest in the collection of oral fluid from individuals because collection is non-invasive and reflects to an extent recent drug or alcohol usage. Moreover, oral fluid collection for forensic purposes, drug-impaired driving for example, has the advantage that sampling can be carried out by suitably trained staff while the donor is under observation, hence it is more difficult to adulterate or substitute the specimen (Section 18.3.1.1). There is also interest in oral fluid collection for TDM purposes (Section 20.3.3).
