Of interest, is the ability to demonstrate visually two and three dimensional normal soft tissue, organ and skeletal anatomy, as well as natural disease and trauma pathology. Objectives The objective was to compare formal traditional methods of teaching anatomy and pathology (pictures and diagrams) to pre-registration student nurses with supplementary PMCT 2/3D generated images, videos and printed anatomical models. The specific objective was to determine if these tools would increase the students’ perception of their understanding and learning experience of the subject area. Design A quasi-experimental within-subject design was chosen. Setting A School of Nursing and Midwifery within a Higher Education Institution in the UK. Participants Purposeful sampling of 57 voluntary informed consented pre-registration student nurses. Method Students were initially exposed to teaching of normal anatomy and common fractures using traditional methods. Data was then collected following the teaching session using a questionnaire entailing both quantitative and qualitative elements. The teaching session was then repeated with the same students but with the inclusion of PMCT of all the same normal anatomy and fractures. Data was then collected again using the same questionnaire. Both questionnaires were then compared. Results The quantitative findings proved highly significantly proved (P = < 0.01) that the inclusion of Post Mortem Computed Tomography when teaching normal anatomy and pathology increases preregistration nursing students’ perception of their understanding and learning experience. The qualitative results revealed three positive themes concerning visual learning, realism and patient empathy. Conclusion Including Post Mortem Computed Tomography imagery enables nurse academics to provide students with a virtual tour of the human body and a rich, authentic learning experience of a real individual who experienced a relevant clinical scenario that nurses are likely to encounter in their careers.Item Metadata only The silent killer: A two decade comparative study of deaths due to carbon monoxide.(1997-07) Rutty, Guy; Carter, Naomi; Rutty, JaneItem Metadata only The silent killer: A two decade comparative study of deaths due to carbon monoxide.(1997) Rutty, Guy; Carter, Naomi; Rutty, JaneItem Metadata only Suffer the little children: The changing role of forensic pathology in the investigation of child death.(1997-07) Rutty, Guy; Carter, Naomi; Rutty, JaneItem Metadata only Suffer the little children: The changing role of forensic pathology in the investigation of child death.(1997-07) Rutty, Guy; Carter, Naomi; Rutty, JaneItem Metadata only The use of infrared ear thermometry for determiantion of time since death in the early post mortem period.(Wiley, 1996-07) Rutty, Guy; Smith, Neil; Rutty, JaneItem Metadata only The use of infrared ear thermometry for determination of time since death in the early post mortem period.(1996-07) Rutty, Guy; Smith, Neil; Rutty, JaneItem Open Access The use of mid-arm circumference for the estimation of adult body weight: A post mortem computed tomography approach(Elsevier, 2020-05-26) Nathongchai, Raksachai; Rutty, Jane; Brough, Alison; Aljanaahi, Nayef; Morgan, Bruno; Rutty, GuyPurpose: Cadaver body weight (BW) is to be documented, where possible, in all forensic autopsy examinations.However, it may not always be possible to ascertain an accurate BW if, for example, functioning weighing equipment is unavailable or the body is incomplete. This research aimed to translate an adult clinical prehospital method which uses a mid-arm circumference (MAC) measurement to estimate BW to establish a post mortem computed tomography (PMCT) technique for adult cadaver BW estimation. Method: The clinical method was adapted for PMCT bone and soft tissue methods. Right and left MAC measurements were obtained by four independent observers from sixty-six (45 males and 21 females) consented research adult PMCT scans using the Osirix DICOM viewer. All observers rated MAC quality score on each arm from 0 (very poor) to 3 (good). Results: In the final group of fifty-five with MAC quality score ≥ 1, MAC measurements correlated well with actual BW (r=0.87) and yielded excellent intra- and inter-observer reliability. There were no statistical differences between the two MAC methods, sexes or side of arm. Mean estimated BW by previous study Equation, BW=(4×MAC)-50, was 0.47 kg greater than mean actual BW with limits of agreement of 12.7 kg; this would be reduced to 9.2 kg if an outlier were excluded. Conclusions: The study identifies a quick and easy PMCT technique to estimate adult BW using PMCT. However, the result remains only an estimation and caution should be expressed if a result is applied to medico-legal cases.
