Study Notes
Aspiration Regions
- Cranial Cavity: Rarely aspirated.
- Neck: Aspirated up to a certain point.
- Thoracic Cavity: Thoroughly aspirated.
- Abdominopelvic Cavity: Thoroughly aspirated.
Nine Abdominal Region Plan
- Right Hypochondriac: Part of the Liver, Gallbladder, Right Kidney, Greater Omentum, Coils of Small Intestine.
- Epigastric: Stomach, Duodenum & Pancreas, Portion of the Liver, Suprarenal Glands & Tail of Pancreas, Greater Omentum.
- Left Hypochondriac: Part of the Liver, Stomach, Spleen, Greater Omentum, Part of Left Kidney, Greater Omentum, Left Colic-Splenic flexure.
- Right Lumbar: Lwr portion of Liver, Ascending Colon, Part of Right Kidney, Coils of Small Intestine, Right Colic (Hepatic) flexure, Greater Omentum.
- Umbilical: Transverse Colon, Part of both Kidneys, Part of Duodenum, Coils of Small Intestine, Bifurcation of Abdominal Aorta & Inferior Vena Cava, Greater Omentum.

- Left Inguinal (Iliac): Part of Descending Colon, Sigmoid Colon, Coils of Small Intestine, Greater Omentum.
Trocar Guides for Aspiration
- Thoracic Cavity: Trocar inserted in left side of abdomen, directed toward the right shoulder.
- Abdominal Cavity: Trocar inserted in right side of abdomen, directed toward the left shoulder.
- Pelvic Cavity: Trocar inserted in the right side of abdomen, directed toward the right hip joint.
Aspiration Process
- Partial Aspiration: Performed either prior to or during arterial injection process, using a trocar with a blunt tip.
- Complete & Thorough Aspiration: Performed after arterial injection has been finished, using a trocar with a sharp tip, typically.
Gravity Injection of Cavity Fluids
- Thoracic Cavity: Gravity flow using a trocar inserted in the left side of the abdomen, directed towards the right shoulder.
- Abdominal Cavity: Gravity flow using a trocar inserted in the right side of the abdomen, directed towards the left shoulder.
- Pelvic Cavity: Gravity flow using a trocar inserted in the right side of the abdomen, directed towards the right hip joint.
Closure of the Point of Insertion of the Trocar
- Use a suture needle and thread to close the puncture wound.
- Alternative closure methods may be used.
Treatment of the Male Genitalia
- Thorough cleaning needed.
- Proper embalming for preservation.
Cranial Cavity Embalming
- Aspiration of the Cranial Cavity is rarely performed.
- Aspiration considered only in cases of cranial purge.
The Direct Incision Method of Cavity Embalming
- Should only be used as a last resort.
- This method is considered mutilation of the deceased.
- Requires legal justification for its use.
Cavity Embalming Outcomes
- Students will understand the anatomy and mechanics of cavity embalming.
- Students will be able to perform aspiration and injection procedures.
- Students will be able to identify and treat purge.
Cavity Embalming Resources
- Anatomy textbooks.
- Embalming textbooks and articles.
- Embalming supply catalogs.
General Information Regarding Cavity Embalming
- Essential for proper preservation of the body.
- Should be performed after arterial injection.
- Process involves aspiration of body cavities and injection of cavity fluid.
Chronology of Cavity Embalming
- Washing and drying of the deceased.
- Removal of any foreign objects.
- Aspiration of the body cavities.
- Injection of cavity fluid.
- Closure of the point of insertion of the trocar.
Hollow Organs
- Stomach.
- Intestines.
- Bladder.
Solid Organs
- Liver.
- Spleen.
- Kidneys.
- Pancreas.
- Lungs.
Purge and Its Relationship to Cavity Embalming
- Purge is the expulsion of body fluids from the body cavities due to putrefaction or gas formation.
- Cavity embalming helps prevent purge by removing fluids and gases from the body cavities.
Aspiration Equipment that Creates Vacuum
- Aspiration machine.
- Hand pump.
Instruments for Aspiration
- Trocar.
- Aspiration tube.
- Jar or bottle for collecting aspiration fluids.
Cavity Embalming Anatomy
- Thorough understanding of anatomy is essential for performing cavity embalming.
- Practitioners must know the location of organs and the best trocar insertion points.
