EMbalming Q2 QTR 2

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
SItes of injection   One point, split point, multipoint, restricted cervical  
🗑
one point   injection and drainage through one point  
🗑
split injection   injection at one point, drainage at another  
🗑
multipoint (sectional)   two or more injection or drainage sites  
🗑
restricted cervical   both common carotids in the start, right jugular for drainage  
🗑
Gravity injection   vase like container suspended with a hose attached. 434 lbs/ft of elevation of pressure is gained  
🗑
Hand pump (manual)   pressure through a jar  
🗑
Bulb syringe   Bulb between jar and body, also had a form of this in a gravity injector  
🗑
Air pressure   mechanized pump and tanks  
🗑
Electrical injection   reservoir attached to motor causing centrifugal force sucking the fluid  
🗑
Pressure   Force required to distribute embalming through the body  
🗑
potential pressure   pressure indicated by gauge when fluid is not going into body  
🗑
Actual pressure   pressure indicated when fluid is going into the body  
🗑
differetial   difference between two, indicates resistance in the body  
🗑
Intravascular factors affecting pressure/resistance   size of vessels, condition of vessels, local congestion (coagulation)  
🗑
Extravascular factors affecting pressure   weight of viscera, gas in viscera, tumors, acites (edema), contact pressure  
🗑
Cause of death and resistance   febrile disease can lead to clotting, swelling from trauma is like edema  
🗑
Post mortem interval implications   longer the length the more likely problems are to arise, rigor constricts blood vessels, decomp, gas, discolorations  
🗑
Restricted drainage   purposely done by the embalmer to build pressure in the body to help move blood clots  
🗑
Progress of the embalming   More fluid increases resistance. The more you have injected, the more resistance you will get  
🗑
Primary dilution   Dilution of the concentrated arterial solution by the embalmer  
🗑
Formalin, water reaction   CH20 + H2O---> CH2(OH)2  
🗑
Rate of flow   the amount of the solution entering the body measured in oz/min or g/hr. MORE CRUCIAL THAN PRESSURE. A too high rate fo flow will separate the cells and the fluid will go between it and cause distention.  
🗑
Index   g/100 mL of water  
🗑
Secondary dilution   dilution of already diluted fluid by body fluids. Increased by edema, decreased by dehydration  
🗑
Fluid distribution   movement of fluid through arterial, capillary and veinous portions  
🗑
fluid diffusion   passage of some elements of the solution from intra to extravascular  
🗑
Methods of fluid diffusion   pressure filtration, osmosis, dialysis, gravity filtration  
🗑
Pressure filtration   passage of fluid through capillary walls due to positive pressure  
🗑
Osmosis   passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane from dilute to concentration  
🗑
Dialysis   The separation of differing substances in solution due to their differing diffusibility through semipermeable membranes  
🗑
Gravity filtration   extravascular settling due to gravity  
🗑
Signs of fluid diffusion   Distention of superficial vessels, blood drainage, reduction of lividity, change in skin color, mottling of tissue (orange peel effect due to uneven fluid diffusion) rehydration of tissue, desirable distention of tissue, tissue fixation  
🗑
Least reliable sign of diffusion   Tissue fixation  
🗑
