2. Nasal Tube Aspiration
3. Careful

Question 7

Answer 8

1. Nasal Tube Aspirator

2. Controlled

Question 9

____ treatment should be performed if a brain purge is present.

Answer 9

1. Cranial Cavity

Question 10

____ are to diminish secondary dilution, to remove intravascular discoloration, helps to prevent distention, and makes additional room for disinfecting fluid (helps to permit disinfection)

Answer 10

Reasons for Drainage

Question 11

Half of the ____ is actually 50% arterial solution, the rest could be liquid blood and blood clots, lymphatic fluid, or interstitial (tissue) fluid,

Answer 11

Components of drainage

Question 12

____ is when arterial solution is never injected while drainage is taking place, the least frequently practiced primarily because of the time that is involved. Approximately a ____ or ____, or until the superficial vessels distend is injected. Once injection has stopped, ____ is allowed

Answer 12

1. Alternate Drainage
2. Quart or Two
3. Drainage

Question 13

Develops a more uniform intravascular pressure, more of a complete fluid distribution is achieved, fluid diffusion is enhanced, and final results is a better embalmed body, prevents short circuiting are the ____ of alternate drainage method

Answer 13

Advantages

Question 14

Some ____ of alternate drainage is care must be taken to avoid distention (DISTENTION IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY METHOD OF INJECTION AND DRAINAGE); may increase embalming time slightly (remember this is not timed event)

Answer 14

Precautions

Question 15

____ is continuous injection with drainage taken at intervals with use of a drain tube, compromise between alternate and the concurrent methods.

Answer 15

Intermittent Drainage

Question 16

____ is where injection and drainage proceed at the same time throughout the embalming procedure

Answer 16

Concurrent Drainage

Question 17

____ of concurrent drainage is it is difficult to attain sufficient pressure to saturate the tissues throughout the body; fluid will follow a point of least resistance developing short circuits; embalming solution will be lost in the drainage

Answer 17

Precautions

Question 18

As a last resort you can use ____, it is never advised to use this method. Note, this method is recommended only in special situations where a vein cannot be used for drainage; inject approximately 1/2 to one gallon of arterial fluid, insert the trocar into the right side of the heart by using the trocar guide for the heart. DO NOT turn the hydroaspirator on full blast

Answer 18

Direct Heart Drainage.

Question 19

____ for direct heart drainage… should the trocar puncture the ascending aorta or the arch, it may necessitate a multi-site injection procedure (6 point injection)

Answer 19

Precautions

Question 20

Techniques on improving drainage

Answer 20

Selection of a large vein
Selection of a large drainage instrument
Injection of a pre injection fluid
The use of massage
Increase the rate of flow or increase injection pressure
Selection of another drainage site
Intermittent or Alternate forms of Drainage
