Embalming QIII
Final
Question | Answer |
---|---|
the slowing of PM decomp, disinfection, cutting down on secondary dilution, removal of discoloration, and pH neutrality are reasons for | blood drainage |
before death, blood is located | in the arteries, veins, heart, and capillaries |
after death, blood is located | in the dependent parts |
a blood drainage technique where you inject/drain/inject/drain separately to build back pressure | alternate draining |
this is the most efficient method of blood drainage | alternate draining |
a blood drainage technique in which the vein is closed off during the first few minutes of arterial injection, then the vein is opened | intermittent draining |
these two drainage methods are considered restricted drainage | alternate and intermittent |
a blood drainage technique where there is both constant injection and constant drainage | concurrent/continuous draining |
this is the least effective drainage technique | concurrent/continuous draining |
a drainage technique in which you insert the trocar into the heart itself | heart tap |
why is the heart tap not recommended? | you may hit the aorta, damage the circulatory system, and the trocar gets clogged |
drainage tubes, long forceps, hot/cold compresses are some examples of methods for _____ _______ | assisted drainage |
direct treatment other than b arterial injection of the contents of the body cavity and the lumina of the hollow viscera normally through aspiration and gravity injection | cavity treatment |
3 reasons for cavity treatment | 1) tissue in the viscera need stronger fluid than muscle, 2) a lot of clotting in the viscera, 3) arterial fluid doesn't hit the viscera |
in the four region plan, the abdomen is divided into four quadrants with the _____ at the center | umbilicus |
9 region abdomen plan: superior row | right/left hypochondriac, center epigastric |
9 region abdomen plan: middle row | right/left lateral or lumbar, center umbilical |
9 region abdomen plan: bottom row | right/left inguinal or iliac, center hypogastric |
direct the trocar point towards the intersection of the 5th intercostal space and left of the mid-axillary line | stomach |
direct the trocar point toward a point 1/4 of the distance from the right anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic symphysis, keep point close to the muscle wall until 4 inches from the spot, then lift handle 2 inches | cecum |
direct trocar towards the intersection of the midline and pubic symphysis, hit the bone, pull back 1/2 inch and dip trocar in | urinary bladder |
direct trocar along an imaginary line from the left anterior superior iliac spine to the lobe of the right ear | right atrium |
t/f re-aspiration should be performed for Crohn's disease patients as well as obese bodies | true |
should you inject more cavity fluid after reaspiration? | yes, always |
to inject the lower limbs from inside the abdominal cavity in an autopsy case, you must use which vessels? | iliacs |
insert through nostril through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to achieve what kind of aspiration/injection? | cranial aspiration |
the post mortem evacuation of any substance from any external opening of a dead body | purge |
brown liquid/semisolid coffee grounds purge with a sour odor | stomach purge |
white frothy odorless purge | lung purge |
white, creamy, sticky, odorless purge | brain purge |
body's rejection of fluid, same color as the arterial fluid | fluid purge |
rupture of circulatory system, usually pools in oral cavity (purge) | blood purge |
how do you treat purge? | 1) Allow it to continue (protect surrounding skin), 2)aspirate |
condition in which gaseous products of putrefaction and fermentation appear in the skeletal tissues of the body | tissue gas |
rice krispies feel of skin in tissue gas case | crepitation |
to combat tissue gas, use high index arterial and cavity fluids, t/f? | true |
you would hypodermically inject a 55% cavity fluid to "wall off" which embalming problem? | tissue gas |
an abnormal accumulation of a plasma-like fluid in the cells, intercellular tissue spaces, and in the cavities of the body (two terms) | edema, dropsy |
edema in which cells have taken on water over a period of time, does not respond well to embalming | solid edema |
water between cells, you can press a finger into this skin and the depression will remain | pitting edema |
widespread edema throughout the body | anasarca |
hydroperitoneum, water in the abdomen | ascites |
edema of the thoracic cavity | hydrothorax |
edema of the pleura | pleurisy |
increase of fluid in the heart sac | hydropericardium |
edema of the head | hydrocephalus |
edema of the scrotum | hydrocele |
never use a preinjection in a ____ case | edema |
a strong specialized hygroscopic fluid is recommended in a _____ case | edema |
waterless embalming would be recommended in a _____ case | edema |
low pressure and low rate of flow are recommended in a ____ case | edema |
build up of calcium on |
