Thank goodness you were talking about the cervical spine. I was a little confused when I saw this title because I have cervical cancer. I love your videos. Very informative and interesting. Love you, Kari.
Hi Kari, would you ever consider making a video such as this one, where you detail a procedure, but actually performing the procedure with a body? I think it would be fascinating to see some of what you do!
I think that would border on unethical, at the very least. She'd have to have a family's permission, who would probably think that, if they wanted their relative to be part of a demonstration, they would have donated his body to a medical school.
I appreciate this video because this I injection technique has so many advantages and I use it on every case unless there is a problem where you have to use other vessel sites . With today’s cases which so many are far from normal a one point site injection and drainage point will not give you the results needed to overcome problematic bodies and also it gives you total control of the head which is the focal point of viewing. I know so many embalmers who will only use the one point injection site but at times the head is over injected.
Thank you for all the information in your talks! You are a great teacher, and so very good at answering questions that we all have about The Funeral Business!
Wow Kari that is quite a scary though to happen to someone. It's really interesting finding out how you deal with this situation. I would love to think I could do the job you do but I'm not sure if I could when I hear what you have to do. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Hope you are well Kari. Lot's of love from Nancy in Scotland x
Hello Kari. I was initially confused as I was picturing cervix orientation, trying to work out what the reasoning was for lol. That was me just being thick I’m afraid. Thankyou for a very informative video as always. X
Hmmm.... I was always under the impression that both sides were opened up. One side for the cannula to be inserted for embalming and the other for the blood to drain from. Am I mistaken?
You are mistaken. In a “normal” Embalming only one incision is made, and the carotid artery and jugular vein are raised on the same side. Carotid for injecting fluid and jugular for draining. Cannula is usually inserted down in the artery, and for drainage you can use a tube connecting to the jugular but often people let it free flow. For a restricted cervical two incisions are made on opposite sides and two carotids raised. Draining can occur from either one or two or even three spots (like in the femoral vein) then, it’s a choice.
@@danika6850 Thanks for the info! I get to say that I learned something today. Never knew that drainage could happen at multiple spots. The more you know 🌈🌟🌟🌟lol!
@@Cal619Guy That's not why. Most of the autopsy videos shown are filmed in other countries where privacy concerns and legalities do not exist or the deceased donated his or her body to science. Kari would be setting herself up to a lawsuit and job loss if she were to show the bodies. Plus it is just disrespectful. She would have to have written permission from the families of any deceased shown and permission of the funeral home she works for. I worked as a funeral director for many years. Privacy and respect for the deceased and their families is extremely important in this line of work.
Ibe always wondered about the reason why the whole body is frozen solid after the embalming and after the body is placed into the casket for the viewing if its possible to answer this question ibe kinda always been curious as to why its done kari. Awesome content and videos
I've never heard that before. God knows we don't want freezer burn or freezer fuzz on our dear departed. It's the embalming fluid that sets everything and stiffens it up, not freezing.
DC NATION The body is not frozen after Embalming. Unless I’m misinterpreting your question and you’re referring to the body being “frozen” in time and not moving do to tissue firming from the Embalming fluids. Generally refrigeration and more rarely freezing occurs before Embalming, and sometimes refrigeration after before being placed in the casket but not freezing. There would be no need now that the body is embalmed & preserved.
@@danika6850 Interesting thought. So someone whose funeral is not going to be for say week plus with open casket...Is it just embalming fluid that keeps body viewable? and to prevent decomposition from starting?
My grandson is considering a career in this field, and I referred him to your channel to get as much info as possible,

@@kathrynsue1986 I truly appreciate that.

Here I am thinking it's going to have something to do with the female reproductive system 🤣🤣 misleading name!
Lindita Colvin me too lol
Crevical collar is considered the neck area.
me too
Me too. I was starting to get a little queasy and liteheaded thinking about that.
Very interesting as always! You're such a professional and caring lady! Thanks for the video!

My Mid-term study session thanks you!
Awesome video❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you. I do wish they would change the term 'cervical' so that it does not cover two vastly different parts of the body.
A brilliant video. Love from Jill xxx
Cool and very interesting..
Thanks for the lesson, I first thought that this video had something to do with the cervix lol! Just goes to show you how much I don't know! :)
Me too.Cervix embalming😑😲
me too
Hi Kari! Would this be beneficial for cases with major head trauma? Perhaps where there is reconstruction that has to be done?
Is that a special request. I’ve watched your other videos but was unable to tell you how great they were even the scary ones lol have a good week 😃

😊
Don’t you have to tie/clamp off the right vein as well?
You do not have to
Other channels on YT show full autopsys (for education). How come you never show anything Kari. 🤔
Embalmers do not perform autopsies. You are confusing what Kari does with a pathologist.
@@joanferguson3953 what I'm trying to say is why are her videos so PG rated. Is she afraid of getting a RUclips strike? 🤔
@@Cal619Guy That's not why. Most of the autopsy videos shown are filmed in other countries where privacy concerns and legalities do not exist or the deceased donated his or her body to science.

@@joanferguson3953 ahh very true.
I think I am going to black out! Lol 😂
Those cuts so high up on the neck how do you hide them ?
The shirt will usually cover them
Thank you😇😇😇😇
Interesting!
Are you talking about separating the head from the body?
i think shes talking about a way to get to the vain that they use to pump the fluid into

and to prevent decomposition from starting?
Yes
Bodies are not frozen. They are refrigerated. This helps slow down decomp an breakdown. Also, prevents any bacteria or anything from building up.
Do you have to do this with Body’s that have been Autopsy ?
The autopsy creates this situation by definition with the dissection's.
