Question | Answer |
---|---|
an outside agent that causes damage is classified as an | injury |
gun shot wounds, fractures, falls, and auto accidents are classified as | injuries |
an internal agent that causes damage is classified as a | disease |
cancer, osteoporosis, tumors, and bruising are examples of | disease |
visible signs of decomp are classified as | post-mortem tissue changes |
5 signs of decomp | skin slip, green discoloration, PM stain, gas distention, extreme dehydration |
6 Pre-Embalming treatments : FJSFMB | pose the features, align the jaw, suture cuts, set fractured limbs, mouth former (support for surface tissues), puncture blisters for 2nd degree burns |
post-embalming treatments should be done how many hours after embalming? | 6-8 hours |
a series of structural changes that take place in the tissues as a result of injury or disease | lesion |
antemortem injury resulting from friction of the skin against a firm object or surface | abrasion |
the flesh is torn and slashed, rough edges dehydrate quickly | laceration |
to correct an abrasion you should | massage cream around, cavity pack, add alcohol, dry out with cotton, apply liquid sealer, remove massage cream, wax in depression with soft wax |
to correct a laceration you should | massage cream around, small cuts: fill with wax, large cuts: dry, incision sealer, intradermal stitch, dry, worm stitch/basket weave |
in the case of lacerated eyelids you may | have to remove the lid |
what do bleaches do to embalmed tissue? | they lighten it |
ink and paint stains are considered | surface stains |
staining within the skin in the dermis such as Addison's disease or jaundice is considered | general stain |
stains found within the skin but limited in area (usually blood discoloration) are | local stains |
livor mortis and local congestion are examples of what kind of blood stain | intravascular |
PM stain, ecchymosis, petechiae, hematoma are examples of what kind of blood stain | extravascular |
3 external bleaching techniques | surface compress, hypodermic, brush application of phenol |
the intradermal or basket weave stitch is used primarily for | excisions |
this burn is superficial and antemortem, redness of skin from hyperemia, like sunburn | first degree |
this burn is antemortem, acute inflammation and blistering (two names) | second degree, partial thickness |
antemortem, only burns that occur after death, sometimes all the way down to the bone (two names) | third degree, full thickness |
the correction for this type of burn is massage cream and drainage of blood from that area | first degree |
the correction for this type of burn is puncture blisters before embalming, but leave the epidermis, cavity pack during embalming, fill in with lip wax | second degree |
this burn cannot be restored if it cannot be injected arterially | third degree |
treat this burn as if severe dessication: high firming fluid, excise tissue, cauterize healthy embalmed tissue | third degree |
how long after embalming can you excise tissue | 6-8 hours |
when you excise tissue, you should undercut into the edge of the incision, t/f? | true |
after excising tissue, how long should you put a surface pack on for? | 15-20 minutes |
an alternative to a cavity pack/dryene for an excision | electric spatula |
to insure dried excised tissue won't leak, should paint the inside of the incision with | incision sealer/clear nail polish |
if a deep excision, fill with what wax? | wound filler |
does the basket weave stitch go over or under the wound filler? | over |
cover basketweave/intradermal stitch for excision with what wax? | number 2 (restorative) |
to recreate pores you should use what kind of brush? | stipple |
to recreate wrinkles, can use 4 options | thin blunt end of crochet needle, ligature washed in cold water, stipple brush, cellophane and a pencil |
you would do this procedure in the event of loss of subcutaneous tissue or fascia | hypodermic tissue building |
internal tissue building is accomplished by | water in the arterial solution |
is tissue building done before or after embalming? | after |
loss of subcutaneous tissue or fascia is defined as | emaciation |
to perform hypodermic tissue building you need 2 things | syringe, and range of needles with different gauges |
the higher the needle gauge the a) thicker or b) narrower the needle itself | narrower |
the main danger of external tissue building is | overfilling |
five hidden places for hypodermic tissue building of the temples and cheeks | 1) eyebrows, 2) hair crown, 3) side burns, 4) behind the top of the ear, 5) through the anterior rim of the helix |
to restore hair, use ___ inch wide patches from the back of the head, overlapping every ___ to ___ inches | one inch wide patches, 1/8 to 1/4 inches |
