Q

3RD FACTOR FOR INJECTION PRESSURE —IS POST MORTEM INTERVAL—

A

TIME BETWEEN DEATH AND EMBALMING

18
Q

POST MORTEM INTERVAL—— 1. PRESENCE OF RIGOR MORTIS–

A

IS A POST MORTEM CHEMICAL CHANGE–ALSO 2..THE STATE OF DECOMPOSITION—– 3. DISCOLORATIONS 4. LIVOR MORTIS OR CADAVERIC LIVIDITY

19
Q

PRIMARY DILUTION– THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE USED AS PRIMARY EMBALMING FLUID..

A

DILUTION ATTAINED AS THE EMBALMING SOLUTION IS MIXED IN THE EMBALMING MACHINE….. OR PERCULATOR—-2. THIS IS DETERMINED BY EMBALMING ANALYSIS AND PREPARED BY THE EMBALMER….

20
Q

TEXAS STATE LAW

A

DONT HAVE TO EMBALM A BODY—MUST INJECT 16 OZ’S PER 50 LBS. OF WIEGHT— IF YOU ARE GOING TO EMBALM….

21
Q

TO DETERMINE STRENGTH OF A PRIMARY DILUTION THE FOLLOWING FORMULA MAY BE DONE—–

A

(C X V = (C’X V)—– -==== C’ IS —-C’ PRIME IN ORDER FOR THIS FORMULA TO WORK YOU HAVE TO EXPRESS THIS IN OUNCES—- 16 OZ. WHICH IS A STANDARD SIZE BOTTLE

22
Q

C= STANDS FOR THE

A

STREGTH OF THE CONCENTRATED FLUID

23
Q

V ====

A

STANDS FOR THE AMOUNT OF CONCENTRATED FLUID

24
Q

INDEX

A

TELL YOU THE AMOUNT OR # OF GRAMS OF FORMALDEHYDE IN A 100 CC ‘S BOTTLE

25
Q

C ‘ ==

A

THE STRENGTH OF THE DILUTED FLUID

26
Q

TAKE THE % NUMBER AND PLUG IN—– C’

A

which is the strength of the diluted fluid or –primary DILUTION

27
Q

V ‘ ==

A

THE AMOUNT OF THE DILUTED FLUID —HAS TO BE REPRESENTED IN

28
Q

1 % IS

A

C PRIME

29
Q

ONE GALON

A

IS SAME AS 128 OUNCES

30
Q

TEXAS

A

MUST INJECT MINIMUM OF 1 GALL PER 50 POUNDS OD BODY WEIGHT

31
Q

TAKE WEIGHT OF DECEASED AND

A

DIVIDE BY 50 WILL GIVE YOU AMOUNT OF GALLONS TO INJECT INTO THE BODY

32
Q

ANY CASE BODY THAT WEGHS MORE THAN 150 LBS.

A

YOU WIL HAVE TO MIX MORE THAN ONE BATCH OF EMBALMING FUID

33
Q

GENERAL INFO —128 OUJCES IN A

A

GALLON—–RECOMMENDED TO INJECT ONE GALLON OF DILUTED FLUID FOR EVERY 50 POUNDS OF THE BODY WEIGHT

34
Q

TEXAS LAW –INJECT ONE GALLON PER

A

50 POUNDS OF BODY WEIGHT

35
Q

2ndary dilution

A

THE WEAKNESS OF THE EMBALMING FLUID BY THE FLUIDS IN BODY,BOTH VASCULAR AND INTERSTITIAL

36
Q

ANY FORM OF EDEMA WHICH IS EXCESS TISSUE FLUID WILL ALWAYS INCREASE FORM OF 2NDRY EDEMA….

A

WHICH YOU WILL EXPECT…

37
Q

CONDITIONS WHICH WILL CAUSE THIS ARE

A
  1. EDEMA 2. DEHYDRATION…
38
Q

FLUID DISTRIBUTION

A

MOVEMENT OF EMBALMING( ARTERIAL SOLUTION FROM THE POINT OF INJECTION THROUGHOUT THE ARTERIAL SYSTEM AND INTO THE CAPPILLARIES

39
Q

FLUID DIFFUSSION

A

MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES OR OTHER PARTICLES IN SOLUTION FROM AN AREA OF GREATER CONCENTRATION TO AN AREA OF LESSE CONCENTRATION UNTIL A UNIFORM CONCENTRATION IS REACHED

40
Q

FLUID DIFFUSION IS ACCOMPLISHED 4 WAYS

A
  1. PRESSURE FILTRATION
41
Q

PRESSURE FILTRATION

A

POSITIVE INTRAVASCULAR

42
