Primary reason for embalming

Disinfection

an influential person in medical embalming who discovered the circulation of blood in 1628

Dr. William Havey

The body you are about to embalm has a serious case of ascites and the abdomen is very distended. What is one way of overcoming this problem

I chose you can aspirate before you inject embalming fluid to relive the pressure. That is one thing also during injection you can insert your trocar to drain ascites as well. You can also pierce the transverse colon. You can also reaspirate before the body is dress and placed in the casket to make sure all swelling and distension has been relived

Gangrene is present in the feet of the deceased you are about to embalm. When you treat this (during or after arteria injection) and how would you treat it

I chose you can treat the area with hypodermic injection was one answer I chose. You can also apply embalming solution surfacy

why is it important for embalmers to be familiar with diseases of the vascular system

I chose you need to know because if there is a blockage the embalming fluid will not go throughout the body if you chose a single point injection

congestive heart failure often causes neck veins to be engorged with blood, leaving the neck distended and the facial tissues dark. in a cases like this, what is one thing you will be sure to do

I chose you will have to do multipoint and inject face separately. We have to make sure that we treat the face separately because it is the most visible. It is filled with edema it swollen so you have to relive the pressure and treat it that way. You can reversive the flow of the arterial solution id you are using single point at the carotid artery. You just need to watch the flow and make sure your pressure is not to much causing more swelling

What is the purpose of ponceau in embalming fluids

It will impart a color change

Decomposition of sugars

Saccharolysis

The person you are about to embalm presents with a swollen right arm. The other arm and the rest of the body is normal. This is an indication of _____. You can us the _____ artery to inject the right arm, using an _____ solution. Then us a _____ solution on the rest of the body.

The person you are about to embalm presents with a swollen right arm. The other arm and the rest of the body is normal. This is an indication of edema.
