KADAVRA TESPİT SOLÜSYONLARININ KARŞILAŞTIRILARAK İNCELENMESİ

Kadavra diseksiyonu ile dokular veya yapılar cerrahi olarak açığa çıkarılarak incelemeye uygun hale getirilir, literatürde bu uygulamanın diğer adı anatomizasyon olarak da geçer. Kadavra diseksiyonunun tıp ve veteriner hekimlik eğitiminde önemli bir yeri bulunur. Öğrencilerin görerek ve dokunarak deneyimledikleri en kapsamlı tecrübedir. Bu deneyimin nesiller boyu devam edebilmesi için kadavra tespiti amaca en uygun fiksasyon yöntemi ile yapılmalıdır. Kadavra tespitinde amaç, dekompozisyon ve putrifikasyonu geciktirerek yapıların uzun süre muhafaza edilmesini ve özellikle bakteriyel ve fungal üremenin engellenmesini sağlamaktır. Tespitin kalitesini etkileyen faktörler, hidrojen iyonu konsantrasyonu ve tamponlar, sıcaklık, fiksatiflerin penetrasyonu, osmolalitesi, konsantrasyonu ve tespitin süresidir. Dünyada kadavra tespiti için en yaygın kullanılan solüsyon formaldehittir. İkinci sırada ise fenol bulunur. Kadavra tespitinde sıklıkla tercih edilen solüsyonlar; thiel solüsyonu, larssen solüsyonu, modifiye larssen solüsyonu, logan solüsyonu, modifiye logan solüsyonu, etanol-gliserin, doymuş tuz çözeltisi solüsyonudur. Çalışmamızda literatür taraması yapılarak solüsyonların içerikleri, avantajları ve dezavantajları karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadavralarda yaygın olarak kullanılan fiksatif solüsyonları incelemektir.

COMPARATIVE EXAMINATION OF CADAVER FIXATION SOLUTIONS

Dissecting the tissues or structures by cadaveric dissection is made suitable for examination and the other name of this application in the literature is also referred to as anatomization. Cadaver dissection has an important role in medicine and veterinary medicine education. It is the most comprehensive experience that students get by seeing and touching. In order for this experience to continue for generations, cadaver fixation should be done with the most appropriate fixation method. The aim of cadaver fixation is to delay the decomposition and putrification and to maintain the structures for a long time and to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. Factors affecting the quality of fixation, hydrogen ion concentration and buffers, temperature, penetration of fixatives, osmolality, concentration and the duration of fixation. The most commonly used solution for cadaver fixation in the world is formaldehyde. The second order is phenol. Cadaver fixation is often the preferred solution; thiel solution, larssen solution, modified larssen solution, logan solution, modified logan solution, ethanol-glycerin, saturated saline solution. In our study, the advantages and disadvantages of the contents of the solutions were compared by literature review. The aim of this study is to investigate the fixative solutions and application methods used in cadavers.
