Embalming 1_2
Preservation Aspect of Embalming
"1. Change of body proteins so they become somewhat stabilized their water sensitivity is decreased and have resistance to proteolytic enzymes of both an autolytic and microbial type 2. Destruction of most autolytic and microbial enzymes which have protein carbohydrate and fat-splitting ability 3. Stabilization of compounds of the body to inhibit decomposition"
Terminal Disinfection
"1. Pack Orifices 2. Re-Washing the hair and body using disinfectant soap 3. Cleaning instruments and equipment in the preparation room
Arterial Injection
"1. Raise Vessels for embalming 2. Select embalming chemical 3. Injection of chemical through vascular system 4. Secure the vessels with ligature after removal of the instruments
Featuring of the body
"1. Shave the facial hair 2. Close the Eyes 3. Close the Mouth
Define Sanitation
"A process to promote and establish conditions which minimize or eliminate biohazards.
Classifications of embalming
"A. Arterial a.k.a. Vascular or Capillary Embalming B. Cavity C. Surface D. Hypodermic
Which is more likely to resist the retention of water embalmed or unembalmed tissue
"Embalmed tissue
The Embalming Room should include
1 table for every 100-125 embalming per year | 500 to 800 foot candles of light at the table surface | Non-porous walls ceiling and floor | Seamless Floor
"Cavity Treatment
1. Aspiration of materials from the cavity 2. Injection of chemicals into the cavity
Concurrent disinfection
Accomplished at the same time as the arterial injection
Primary disinfection
Accomplished prior to the injection of arterial solution
Arterial a.k.a. Vascular or Capillary Embalming
Arterial Embalming the use of the blood vascular system of the body to accomplish temporary preservation | sanitation | and restoration of the dead human body.
What cases should receive an embalming report
Every case brought into the Embalming Room
Terminal disinfection
Final disinfection of the body instruments and quipment in the preparation room
Positioning of the body
Including the positioning of the head arms and making the deceased look comfortable
Generally are surface and hypodermic embalming used for - localized or generalized embalming
Localized
"Process of Embalming an Unatuopsied body
Place body on the table | Primary Disinfection | Positioning of the body | Featuring of the body | Arterial Injection | Cavity Treatment | Cosmetize Dress and Casket the body Place the body on the table Removal of clothing and valuables Any valuables should be inventoried and placed in a safe location Removal of surgical bandages and equipment Washing the body and hair cleaning under the fingernails Spray the body orifices and areas such as genitalia and armpits with disinfectant
"4 processes of Embalming
Preservation | Disinfection | Sanitation | Restoration
Types of Disinfection
Primary disinfection | Concurrent disinfection | Terminal disinfection
The Location of the embalming room should be
accessible to outside | close to casket display room | close to reposing room | sound proof if near any public areas | separate water ventilation heat and cooling systems
Define preservatives
chemicals which inactivate saprophytic bacteria render unsuitable for nutrition the media upon which such bacteria thrive and which will arrest decomposition by altering enzymes and lysins of the body as well as converting the decomposable tissue to a form less susceptible to decomposition.
The embalming process is completed
in the embalming room of the funeral home
"Purpose of Sanitation
protect the public | protect the embalmer | create a clean sanitary body | protect the environment
Cavity Embalming
the direct treatment | other than vascular injection | of the contents of the body cavities
Hypodermic Embalming
the injection of embalming chemicals directly into the tissues of the dead human body through the use of a syringe and needle or a trocar
Surface Embalming
the preservation of the body tissues direct contact with the embalming chemicals
The result of sanitation
though not directly may be to help disinfect the body. If you create a clean environment free of moisture and biohazards you will remove the environment the microbes need to live thus you may indirectly kill the microbes.
