Benefits of Post-Mortem Examination or Autopsy From Scientific Point of View
>> Monday, December 6, 2010
I am doing search on google for knowing the benefits of Post mortem or Autopsy, so that fear of cut of body after death will end for those who think, it is not good to post mortem examination from spritual point of views.
1. According to Medindia.net
Post mortem aids in finding out missed diagnoses and help in preventing repetition of these medical errors in future cases. Thus it helps in improving the quality of medical care for other similar patients. Mortality statistics can be created. Death certificates in the absence of autopsy findings often yield inaccurate data.

There are many advantages to getting an autopsy. Even when the law does not require it, there is always something interesting for the family to know. In doing 1000+ autopsies, I have always found something worth knowing that wasn't known during life. Even at major hospitals, in about one case in four we find major disease that was unknown in life. Giving families the explanations they want is one of the most satisfying things that I do.
At least a fifth of autopsies reveal a cause of death other than was known to clinicians. In "routine natural deaths" in England, 34% of the time the process that was believed to be the cause of death prior to autopsy was completely wrong (J. Clin. Path. 61: 124, 2006). Consistent with my own life experience, more than a quarter of autopsies reveal a major surprise other than the cause of death (Am. J. Clin. Path. 129: 102, 2008).
The chest organs, including the heart and lungs, are inspected. Sometimes the pathologist takes blood from the heart to check for bacteria in the blood. For this, he/she uses a very large hypodermic needle and syringe. The pathologist may also find something else that will need to be sent to the microbiology lab to search for infection. Sometimes the pathologist will send blood, urine, bile, or even the fluid of the eye or samples of brain and/or liver for chemical study and to look for medicine, street drugs, alcohols, and/or poisons.
