Q

reveal the shadow of the heart in its rhythmic contraction and relaxation. The shadow may be enlarged, and the excursion made less visible due to pericardial effusion.

A

Fluoroscopic Examination

17
Q

This is the best method of determining heart action but quite impractical

A

By the Use of Electrocardiograph

18
Q

It will record the heart beat even if it is too weak to be heard by auscultation

A

Electrocardiograph

19
Q

Examination of the Peripheral Circulation

A

a. Magnus Test
b. Opening of small Artery
c. Icard’s Test
d. Pressure on the Fingernails
e. Diaphanous Test
f. Application of heat on the skin
g. Palpation of the radical pulse with fingers

20
Q

A ligature is applied around the base of a finger with moderate tightness.

A

MAGNUS TEST

21
Q

• Living: the blood escapes in jerk and at a distance.
• Dead: the blood vessel is white and there is no jerking escape of blood but may only ooze towards
the nearby skin.

A

OPENING OF SMALL ARTERY

22
Q

This consists of the injection of a solution of fluorescein subcutaneously.

A

ICARD’S TEST

23
Q

This test should be applied only with the use of the daylight as the color is difficult to be appreciated with the use of artificial light.

A

ICARD’S TEST

24
Q

Pressure is applied on the fingernails of a living person intermittently, there will be a zone of paleness at the site of the application of pressure which become livid on release

A

PRESSURE ON THE FINGERNAILS

25
Q

The fingers are spread wide and the finger webs are viewed through a strong light.

A

DIAPHANOUS TEST

26
Q

If heated material is applied on the skin in the living person, there will be blister formation, congestion, and other vital reactions of the injured area will be observed.

A

APPLICATION OF HEAT ON THE SKIN

27
Q

• Living: will feel the rhythmic pulsation of the vessel due to the flow of blood.
• Dead: No such pulsation will be observed

A

PALPATION OF THE RADIAL PULSE WITH FINGERS

28
Q

Like heart action, cessation of respiration in order to be considered as a sign of death must be continuous and persistent.

A

STOPPAGE OF RESPIRATION

29
Q

Methods of detecting cessation of respiratory

A

a. Expose the chest and abdomen and observe the movement during inspiration and expiration.
b. Examine the person with the aid of a stethoscope which is placed at the base of the anterior aspect of
the neck and hear sound of the current of air passing through the trachea during each phase of respiration.
c. Mirror Test
d. Examination with a Feather or Cotton Fiber
e. Examination with a Glass of Water
f. Winslow’s Test

30
Q

The surface of a cold-looking glass is held in front of the mouth and nostrils. If there is dimming of the mirror after a time, there is still respiration

A

MIRROR TEST

31
Q

Place a fine feather or a strip of cotton in front of the lips and nostrils

A

EXAMINATION WITH A FEATHER OR COTTON FIBER

32
Q

Place a glass half full of water at the region of the chest.

A

EXAMINATION WITH A GLASS OF WATER

33
Q

The reflection is utilized to magnify the / movement of the surface of mercury or water.
