Q4 Embalming: Select Conditions

4.5-9 gallons

Depending on the size of the body, how much fluid should be injecting to a body that is embalmed for anatomical study?

accessory chemicals

For a delayed viewing, preservative embalming chemicals, supplemental embalming chemicals, and what are used?

with no casket

For a ship out __________, clease, embalm, and dry the body. Pack external orifaces. Use plastic garments and partially dress the deceased. Wrap in a clean sheet . DO NOT PLACE ONE HAND OVER THE OTHER. Secure for travel.

with casket

For a ship out __________, put cotton around the head and feet to accomplish stability. Turn pillow over, use a plastic sheet, and casket the bed on the lowest setting. Move feet towards the furthest end. Do NOT completely seal the casket. Help fellow funeral directors out!

phenol

For ecchymosis in a delayed viewing, what kind of based cauterizing solution should you use? You can also use cavity fluid.

3 feet

For every __________ __________ , it limits your radioactive exposure.

1 bottle

For renal failure, what is the minimum number of bottles of cavity fluid you should use per cavity?

30 mCi

For unautopsied bodies, the level of radioactivity must drop below this amount.

glycerine

Formaldehyde, phenol, methanol, formol, ethylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and what are used in bodies that are embalmed for anatomical study?

2+ years

How long is a body kept for anatomical study?

18-48 months

How old is a toddler?

birth-18 months

How old is an infant?

carotid, cavity aspirate

If a pre term baby is autopsied, use this vessel and do this. It is also possible to use the abdominal aorta or the ascending arch.

firm tissues

In a body that suffered from alcoholism, it will be difficult to obtain this. Ecchymosis are common and you should tissue build after arterial injection.

intestinal tract

In a body with renal failure, blood coming from where provides an excellent medium of growth for putrefactive organisms?

BEFORE

In a re-embalming procedure, when should you re aspirate in regards to the arterial injection?

small arterial venous catheter

In an autopsied infant, this can be used to.

carotid

In infant vessel selection, all arteries are usable but the size varies. This vessel is the largest other than the aorta and will be the most shallow. The thymus will be large.

thrombosis, infarction

In phycomycosis, fungi invades the vessels and causes these two things.

head, body

In positioning an obese dead body, keep the __________ than the __________.

elbows

In positioning an obese dead body, keep this body part as close as possible. You can use a cloth tie to help you.

cavities

In renal failure aspiration, what should be thoroughly embalmed?

aspirate

Make sure to do this, and then do it again on an obese body. It will help in combating purge.

straight, together

On an obese body, the head should be positioned ________ and the feet should be placed __________.

gastrointestinal ulceration

Purge from this would require re aspiration IMMEDIATELY after injection.

rapid decomposition

Renal failure problems will lead an embalmer to have problems with __________ ___________, tissue acidity that results in autolysis, edema that causes hydrolysis, and nitrogenous waste that neutralizes the formaldehyde.

rubber gloves, heavy apron

The attire to be worn when handling radioactive remains.

the spread of spores

The number one concern in dealing with mycotic infections

femoral, external iliac

The second largest artery in infant vessel selection are these two. Inject the left first.

restricted cervicle

The type of injection technique used on an obese body.

sallow colour

This results from urochrome buildup and leads to a yellow or pale tint.

two

To be prepared for a radioactive case, have this many people on a team. Avoid concentrated areas and use constantly running water.

conditions that require re embalming

What are these: -poor fluid distribution -too little solution -too low concentration -renal failure neutralized injection -rigor mistaken for tissue fixation

iliac

What artery would you raise instead of a femoral on an obese body.

hepatic failure drainage

What depletes blood clotting factors, therefore, good drainage can be expected if the body is prepared in a reasonable time after death.

drainage

What is not a concern in the re embalming procedure?

topical embalming

What kind of embalming technique is used on pre term babies? By osmosis, they can be wrapped in cotton and cosmetic fluid or can sprinkle paraformaldehyde in a container.

large volume, average dilution

What kind of fluid to use on an obese body.

mycotic infections

What kind of infections are found in bodies with immunosuppressive diseases or diabets?

mechanical, manual

What kinds of aids are used in the treatments of malformations?

alcoholism

What leads to jaundice, edema of skeletal tissues or cavities, and purge?

re aspirate, re inject

What should you re do on a body with renal failure?

moderate to strong

What strength of arterial solution would you use on a body that died of alcoholism?

forceps

What to use for drainage on an obese body.

bichloride, mercury

What two things are illegal in the US but Italy requires them.

right

When an obese body is in a casket, tilt the shoulders and head towards this direction.

correct fluid solution

When dealing with a malformation, it is important to use __________, sectional embalming, plastic garments, and hypodermic injection.

lesions

When dealing with phycomycosis, these display an intense necrotizing and suppurative inflammatory process.

higher preservation demand

When embalming an obese dead body, it will require this. You will face postmortem edema and possible resistance to fluid distribution. It is not uncommon to also see diabetes.

pressure injection, overnight gravity injection

When embalming for anatomical study, a majority of schools use a combination of what to preserve the body?

fluid and hardening compounds

When embalming with no injection wrap in sheets and saturate with this before wrapping in plastics. Use a double pouch and write the name on the head end.

5%

When embalming with no injection, aspirate, and hypo with this kind of solution.

immediately

When should an embalmer disinfection the lesions and cavities of a body with a mycotic infection? They will require a routine injection AFTER the fungus has been addressed.

skin, mucous membranes

With mycotic infections, where can one except to find lesions?

pre term baby

A baby weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds or born BEFORE 37 weeks.

cavity fluid

After re aspirating and re injecting, aspirate again and re inject this. Then, proceed with hypodermic injection.

phycomycosis

An infection of the lungs, ears, nervous system, and intestinal tract caused by a fungus commonly encountered as a saprophyte or a contaminant.
