Summary:

The Hospital Autopsy, 2nd Edition describes the history of modern autopsy and presents a clear and systematic approach to the techniques employed in safe hospital autopsy practice. The book begins by discussing issues of consent, health, safety and mortuary design and then goes on to look in detail at external examination, evisceration, dissection of internal organs and the production of the autopsy report. Specialist techniques in dissection and in the collection of samples for microbiological, biochemical, toxological and immunological analysis are also covered, as are other important specialist areas, such as examination of neonates and children. Over 100 illustrations and photographs illustrate the techniques involved.
