AAMI Embalming 1 Exam Study Guide with Complete Solutions Scissors - Correct Answer Used for cutting. Can be used to open arteries and veins.Aneurysm Hook - Correct Answer A SHARP pointed tip.Bistoury knife - Correct Answer A curved cutting instrument that cuts from the inside outwards. Can open arteries and veins. Also used for the excision of tissue.Hemostats - Correct Answer Used to clamp leaking vessels.Arterial Hemostat - Correct Answer Used to hold the arterial tube in place.Scalpel - Correct Answer A sharp cutting instrument used to make incisions.Suture Needles - Correct Answer Are used to close autopsy incisions as well as incisions made to raise vessels for injection.Ligature - Correct Answer Suture thread.Y-tubes - Correct Answer It allows embalmers to embalm both legs or both arms at the same time.Hypovalve Trocar - Correct Answer Used for hypovalve treatments. This isn't used for aspiration but rather injection.Drain Tubes - Correct Answer A metal cylinder with a cleaning rod designed to be inserted into a vein. Inserted towards the heart. They keep the vein expanded and can be closed to build circulatory pressure. The stirring rod can be used to fragment clots.Iliac Drain Tube - Correct Answer A long drain tube designed to be inserted into the external iliac vein and the tip is directed into the right atrium of the heart. May be made of soft rubber, plastic, or metal. 1 / 3
Groove Director - Correct Answer Helps expand a vein to help guide a drain tube or drainage device such as angular spring forceps into a vein for drainage.Nasal Tube Aspirator - Correct Answer Attached to the aspirator hose. Designed to be inserted into the nostril or throat for limited aspiration of the nasal passage or the throat.Trocar - Correct Answer Sharp-pointed instrument which, when attached to an aspiration device, can be used to pierce organs in order to aspirate them and fill them with cavity fluid: Infant Trocar - Correct Answer Short and small in diameter. Used to aspirate and inject the cavities.Cavity Fluid Injector - Correct Answer Screws onto the cavity fluid bottle. When the device is inverted cavity fluid flows through the trocar and into the bodies cavity.Trocar Button - Correct Answer A threaded plastic screw used for closing trocar punctures.Arterial Tube - Correct Answer Tube used to inject embalming solution into the blood vascular system.Spatula - Correct Answer Flat, blunt, knifelike instrument used for mixing cosmetics and modeling.Electric Aspirator - Correct Answer Device that uses a motor to create a suction for the purpose of aspiration.Pressure - Correct Answer the force required to distribute the embalming solution throughout the body.Rate of Flow - Correct Answer the amount of embalming solution that enters the body in a given period and is measured in ounces per minute.Potential Pressure - Correct Answer the pressure reading on the gauge in the centrifugal machine, indicating the pressure in the delivery line of the machine with the rate of flow valve closed or the arterial tubing clamped shut. 2 / 3
Differential Pressure - Correct Answer the difference between the potential pressure reading and the actual pressure reading. This is an indicator of the rate of flow.Actual Pressure - Correct Answer the reading on the pressure gauge on the centrifugal pump when the rate of flow valve is open and the arterial solution is entering the body.Intravascular Pressure - Correct Answer Pressure developed as the flow of embalming solution is established and the elastic walls expand and then contract resulting in filling of the capillary beds and development of pressure filtration.Leur-lok - Correct Answer quarter turn type of arterial tubes.Albert Worsham - Correct Answer Lecturer. Contributed to the early foundation of post mortem plastic surgery. Opened a school in Chicago.Clearance Strub - Correct Answer Had the ability to explain embalming theory and practices. Wrote the text book Principles and Practices of Embalming.Work Practice Controls - Correct Answer Controls that reduce the likelihood of exposure by altering the manner in which a task is performed.Aspesis - Correct Answer Freedom from infection and from any form of life; sterility.Samuel Rodgers - Correct Answer Inventor of the trocar.Diodorus Siculus - Correct Answer Greek Historian.Hypodermic Embalming - Correct Answer Injection of embalming chemicals directly into the tissue through the use of a syringe and needle or a trocar.E.G. Bernard - Correct Answer Founded the Bernard School of Embalming.Time Weighted Average - Correct Answer An evaluation of exposures that are time-weighted over an established period. It allows the exposure levels to be averaged generally over an 8 hour period.
