The Final Material Flashcards
- Reduce pressure and rate of flow
- Utilize care in raising vessels
- Use gauze or similar material to tie off vessels to prevent cutting or other damage
- Proper selection of size of injection and drainage tubes
- Pre-Injection in certain cases (clots)
- Supplemental Chemicals as a co-injection (anticoagulants)
- Alternate injection and drainage or intermittent drainage
- Sectional hypodermic injection to supplement arterial injection
Treatment for predisposing conditions
Atheroma, Varices, Clots, Emboli, Arteriosclerosis, Thrombus, Hemorrhage, Endocarditis, Tuberculosis, Gangrene, Trauma, Asphyxiation, Pneumonia, Syphilis, Advanced Decomp are all \_\_\_\_
Predisposing Conditions
Phlebitis Congestive <3 Failure Cirrhosis of the Liver Renal Failure Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (Cherry Red Appearance; Blood will not clot) Lymph Vessel Obstruction Burns (1st and 2nd Degree) are all conditions \_\_\_\_\_\_
Conditions Associated with Edema
Anasarca (generalized edema, scattered throughout the body)
Acites (edema of the peritoneal; abdominal cavity)
Hydrothorax (edema in the thoracic cavity)
Hydropericardium (edema around the pericardium)
Hydrocele (edema in a sac like structure like the scrotum)
Fluid Accumulation according to location
Distention of tissue (increases secondary dilution)
Distortion of body contour
Possible leakage
Possible Desquamation (skin slip)
Embalming Complications
Stronger than “normal” solution strength, especially to the area with edema
Possible sectional embalming by hypodermic injection
Elevation of extremities to allow for gravitation of edematous fluid
Special attention must be paid to the area in which edema is present
(the thoracic cavity in case of hydrothorax)
Restrictive cervical if areas below the head have edema
Case analysis will determine embalming procedures

Hemorrhage Febrile Diseases Emaciating Disease Burns Refrigeration Infectious Diseases are all conditions predisposing to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Dehydration
Injection of Large volumes of chemicals Moisture Retaining chemicals (Humectants) Normal Strength Solution Control Injection pressure and rate of flow Alternate injection and drainage Liberal application of massage cream Light massage Hypodermic Tissue Builder (Fillers)
Embalming treatment for Dehydration
Any abnormal color change that is present in/on the body are ____
Discolorations
_____ is a discoloration that appears on the human body during life, the fact that it remains after life is extinct will not cause a change of the classifications
Antemortem Discoloration
_____ is a discoloration that appears on the body after death
Postmortem Discoloration
Cause of discoloration…discoloration resulting from changes in the composition of ____ content or location
Blood
1st Type of Blood Discoloration
_____ an abnormal color change caused by blood initially SEEN DURING LIFE and is located WITHIN THE VASCULAR SYSTEM
Ex:
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (Cherry Red Skin)
Capillary Congestion (Active, Passive, Hypostatic)
Antemortem Intravascular
2nd Type of Blood Discoloration
_____ an abnormal color change caused by blood SEEN AFTER DEATH and WITHIN THE VASCULAR SYSTEM
Ex:
Livor Mortis “Cadaveric Lividity”
Postmortem Intravascular
3rd Type of Blood Discoloration
_____ an abnormal caused by blood that is SEEN DURING LIFE that is located OUTSIDE THE VASCULAR SYSTEM
Ex:
Ecchymosis (Medium Hemorrhage)
Petechia (Small Pinpoint Hemorrhage)
Hematoma (Large Tumor Like Hemorrhage)
Antemortem Extravascular
