        Help!  

Question
Answer
Categories of embalming chemicals   Atertial, cavity, supplemental, accessory, sealers, pack applications  
🗑
Arterial fluids   Index, aldehyde/non-aldehyde, color, firming or non firming, dehydrating or non-dehydrating, special purpose  
🗑
Indexes of arterial   Low - 10-20 Medium- 20-28 High- 30-36  
🗑
Special purpose arterials   Jaundice, high index, dehydrating, tissue gas, germicidal, infant  
🗑
Preservatives   CHemicals that stop saprophtic bacteria by rendering unsuitable the media upon which they thrive which will arrest decomp  
🗑
Aldehydes   Formaldehyde, Gluteraldehyde  
🗑
Advantages of gluteraldehyde   less irritaing and dehydrating, less firming, good germicide, oshas does not apply  
🗑
Disadvantages of gluteraldehyde   more expensive, more tests are needed  
🗑
Alcohols   Methyl, ethyl, isopropyl  
🗑
Phenol   Soluable in water, very penetrating, used in cadavr prep, very preserving, very dehydrating  
🗑
Inorganic salts   Sodium chloride, Sodium Carbonate, Potassium nitrate, Sodium Sulfate  
🗑
Germicides   Kill or sterilze pathogens  
🗑
Germicides examples   Aldehydes, phenol, QUATS  
🗑
Examples of QUATS   Zephrin Chloride, Roccal  
🗑
Anticoagulants   Chemicals that retard the tendency of blood to become viscous  
🗑
Precipants   Remove calcium from blood Ex. Sodium citrate, sodium oxylate, calcium oxylate  
🗑
Sequestering agents   Fences off calcium to prevent clotting Ex. Tetrad sodium diacteic acid (TDA), ETDA,  
🗑
Vehicles   Liquids that serve as solvents. Water and Alochol  
🗑
Surfactants   Reduces surface tension to reduce friction and allows fluid in to smaller apatures Ex. Sodium lauryl sulfate and Sulfonate  
🗑
Dyes   Two types Active (cosmetic), inactive (only color the fluid, not body)  
🗑
Types of dyes   Eosine, carmine, ponceau red, erythosine  
🗑
Deorderants/ Redoderants   COver up or alter the smell  
🗑
Examples of Deoderants/ reoderants   Oil of wintergreen, oil of cloves, lemon oil, cherry oil, oil of sassafras, benzaldehyde  
🗑
Modifiers   CHemicals used to balance, supplement or compliment other fluids by reating moisture or softening coagulation  
🗑
Humenctants   Increase embalmed tissues ability to retain moisture  
🗑
Examples of humectants   Glycerol, sorbital, hexalene glycol, lanoline, aloe  
🗑
Buffers   Stabilize pH  
🗑
Examples of Buffers   Borax and Boric acid, sodium bicarnonate, disodium phosphate, sodium citrate and EDTA (last wto are also anticoagulants)  
🗑
Water conditioners   Chemicals that comabt, Ca, Mg and Fe (II)by sequestering them, do the same as anticoagulants  
🗑
Examples of water conditioners   Sodium Citrate, EDTA, Sodium Oxylate  
🗑
Jaundice concerns   Bilirubin+ O2 (in formaldehyde) = Biliverdin (green)  
🗑
Special ingredients in jaundice fluid   Low HCHO content, redcuing agents, bleaching agents, counter staining dyes, water  
🗑
Special fluid (company definitions)   High index, dehydrating, firming used in cases with high preservative demands,  
🗑
Cavity Fluids   High index for aspirating viscera, conatins stronger versions as arterial fluids. DO NOT DILUTE  
🗑
Supplemental fluids   Pre-injection/ co-injection  
🗑
CO injection   Added to arterial  
🗑
Pre injection   injected before areterial, also called primary injection fluid, cappilary wash, body conditioner  
🗑
Pre injection fluids do   clear body of blood, address acidity, rehydrates and expands system  
🗑
Advantages of pre injection   Improved diffusion, rehydrates, clears lividity  
🗑
Disadvantages of preinjection   more time, might cause water log, DO NOT USE during hot case or edema  
🗑
Accessory Chemicals   Hardening compounds, Sealing compounds, pack applications  
🗑
Hardening compound components   Hardening agents, Disinfectants, Moisture absorbers, fillers, mold preventative agents, embalming powders  
🗑
Harding agents   Plaster of Paris, AMmonium Chloride  
🗑
Disinfectants   Paraformaldehyde, Ammonium chloride  
🗑
Moisture absorbers   Saw, dust, clay, chalk  
🗑
Fillers   Perlyte, cellulose  
🗑
Mold preventative agents   Paraformaldhyde, paradichlobenzne  
🗑
Embalming powders   mostly paraformaldehyde  
🗑
Sealing agents   Provide barriers against leakage  
🗑
Types of sealers   Powder or liquid  
🗑
Powders   go into aretail incision  
🗑
Liquid sealer   coat outside of incision. Bonding adhesives or cauterizing agents, sprays and cream  
🗑
Pack applications   Gel or liquid for topical embalming  
🗑
