Overview

Research reveals air embolism presence in abdominal aorta and cranial cavity, suggesting post-mortem changes in gas location.

Key Points

  • To explore the relationship between gas presence in the right heart and anatomical locations postmortem.
  • Analyzed gas presence during PMCT examinations
  • Compared gas location in right heart cavities to other anatomical sites
  • Distinguished between posttraumatic and post-mortem changes
  • Gas in abdominal aorta indicates post-mortem origin in right heart
  • Cranial cavity gas suggests external origin related to air embolism
