4 types of embalming chemicals - ✔✔✔Arterial Fluid Cavity Fluid Supplemental Fluid and Accessory Fluid.
Specialized Arterial Fluids - ✔✔✔Jaundice Fluid and High-Index Fluid
Jaundice fluid - ✔✔✔minimal formaldehyde would be used for those bodies which are jaundices to prevent the formaldehyde
(acting as an acid) from combining with the bilirubin to turn the body yellow or green
Components of Jaundice fluid that are different from other arterial fluids - ✔✔✔" 1) low formaldehyde
2) Reducing agents to break down the discoloration of the body
3) Bleaching agents to bleach out the discoloration
4) Counter staining agents that will attempt to restore as normal a color as possible.
High-Index fluids - ✔✔✔would be used on bodies that had died from drowning or had advanced stages of decomposition.
