MICROSCOPIC PICTURE OF INTERNAL ORGANS IN ACUTE BLOOD LOSS

Abstract

Acute hemorrhage is a pathological process, often found in the practice of a forensic doctor. A large amount of blood found in the cavities and internal organs of a corpse is not decisive for establishing the rate of blood loss, its multiplicity, as well as determining the duration of the terminal process.Aim of the work. The study of blood loss by histological methods in order to establish the volume of lost blood.Materials and methods. A forensic histological study was carried out in 30 cases of death from acute blood loss with various volumes of bleeding (from 400 ml to 3000 ml), established during a forensic medical examination of a corpse.Results. Microscopic examination of the internal organs of the dead with varying degrees of blood loss revealed signs of circulatory disorders, increased permeability of the vascular wall, degenerative changes in the internal organs, indicate hypoxia.Conclusions. Our correlation analysis did not establish a connection between the changes we detected in the organs that we was studied and the amount of blood lost. The classical methodology of histological examination of human biological tissues establishes only the fact of the presence of blood loss.
