    What is the most common problem encountered when embalming a case with Arteriosclerosis?

    Match the types of Arteriosclerosis with their descriptions:

    <p>Type 1 = The lumen is clearly defined and mainly clear, arteries can usually be used for injection. Type 2 = The lumen is reduced in size, off-center, and sometimes requires a smaller canula. Type 3 = The lumen is completely occluded (blocked) and often necessitates alternatives such as canalization.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Pre-injection is recommended when a case has known or suspected difficulty in distribution.

    What is the difference between an Arteriosclerosis case and an Atherosclerosis case?

    <p>Arteriosclerosis is a general hardening and thickening of arterial walls, while Atherosclerosis is a specific type of Arteriosclerosis involving the buildup of fatty plaques within the arterial walls.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    The use of arterial solution dyes is essential in embalming, especially in cases of Arteriosclerosis, to track the solution’s path.

    Study Notes

    Embalming Protocols - Part Three

    • This module focuses on embalming protocols specific to vascular conditions, problematic cases, and the effects of drugs (e.g., chemotherapy, antibiotics).

    Learning Outcomes

    • Students will be able to identify and perform arterial and cavity embalming protocols for autopsy and non-autopsy cases involving vascular conditions, other problematic cases, and the effects of drugs, chemotherapy, and antibiotics.

    Resources Used

    • Embalming - History, Theory, & Practice by Robert G. Mayer (Fourth Edition, pages 407-441)
    • The Principles And Practice Of Embalming by Clarence G. Strub, L.E. & L.G. Frederick, L.E.-L.F.D. (Fifth Edition)
    • Mosby's Medical, Nursing, & Allied Health Dictionary (1st Edition, Australia & New Zealand)

    Vascular Conditions - Embalming Problems

    • Vascular system is essential to embalming.
    • Concerns include extravascular and intravascular conditions affecting blood vessels.
    • Obstructions or disruptions in blood vessel delivery will affect embalming.
    • Common vascular problems include arteriosclerosis, aneurysm, valvular heart diseases, and congestive heart failure.
    • Pre-injection should be avoided if a case has vascular conditions, to prevent swelling in the affected area.
    • Injection should only be used when obstruction or flow reduction is not expected.

    Arteriosclerosis

    • Thickening, calcification, and loss of elasticity in arterial walls.
    • Can affect the Tunica Interna, Tunica Media, or both.
    • May mimic atherosclerosis, but involves different characteristics.
    • Different types (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3) based on lumen condition.
    • Type 3 is fully occluded (blocked).

    Aneurysm

    • Localised, abnormal dilation or out-pocketing of a blood vessel.
    • Can be a congenital defect or weakness of the vessel wall.
    • Ruptured aneurysm in non-autopsied cases requires multiple injection points.

    Other Problematic Cases

    • This section details problematic cases, such as those related to diabetes, rigor mortis, renal failure, and cases involving drugs or chemotherapy.

    General Information about Embalming Protocols

    • Discuss the importance of pre-embalming analysis for proper selection of arterial solution.
    • Discuss proper methods to handle and treat tissue and organ conditions in cases of specific conditions like those discussed in the foregoing sections.
