Fluid Movement Flashcards
Lesson 6
dilution attained as the embalming solution is mixed in embalming machine
primary dilution
determined by embalming analysis and prepared by embalmer
primary dilution
to determine strength of primary dilution
C x V = C’ x V’
strenght of concentrated fluid; index
C
amount of concentrated fluid; vol. of fluid
V
strength of diluted fluid; strength of solution (%)
C’
amount of diluted fluid; total vol.
V’
1 bottle =
16 oz.
ounces in a gallon
128
recommended strenght of injection fluid
1.5-2%
recommended injection fluid
1 gal. diluted fluid for every 50lbs.
weakening of embalming fluid by fluids in the body both vascular and interstitial
secondary dilution
conditions that cause secondary dilution to vary
edema; dehydration
will increase amount of secondary dilution
edema
will decrease amount of secondary dilution
