Table 2 Overview of group II patients presenting superior results in autopsy (detailed cause of death found in autopsy is marked bold)
ID | Cause of death - autopsy | Cause of death - pmCT | Region of death causing injury |
|---|---|---|---|
2 | Distal thoracic aortic rupture, Rupture of bronchus/azygos vein | pleural effusion/hematothorax = signs of bleed to death | chest |
3 | Multiple trauma/inner bleed to death rupture iliac artery/inner organs, open pericardium lung contusions, pneumthorax with pleural effusion fractured pelvis, retroperitoneal hematoma brain edema with incarceration | suspected rupture iliac artery free intraabdominal fluid = signs of bleed to death lung contusion/pneumothorax, pleural effusion brain edema with upper and lower incarceration | skeletal system Head/neck Chest |
6 | Chest compression most likely suffocation | no directly death causing injury reported | chest |
19 | Multiple trauma/circulatory collapse total rupture descending aortic arch, rupture pericardium bilateral pneumothorax, bloody pleural,effusion, pneumomediastinum serial rib fractures, bony injury pelvis, spine laceration of liver, rupture spleen | suspected rupture aorta, not definitely recognized, pneumopericardium bilateral pneumothorax, bloody pleural effusion, pneumomediastinum serial rib fractures, bony injury pelvis, spine laceration of liver, rupture spleen | chest |
20 | Multiple trauma/inner bleed to death: complex fractures spine, pelvis, sacrum rupture pulmonary root, lung contusion, pneumothorax bilateral serial rib fractures rupture renal capsula/urinary bladder, retroperitoneal hematoma extensive soft tissue damage/bleeding | complex fractures spine, pelvis, sacrum lung contusion, pneumothorax bilateral serial rib fractures retroperitoneal hematoma free intraabdominal fluid = signs of bleed to death | Skeletal system abdomen |
25 | Multiple trauma: brain edema, disruption articulation skull base-atlas damage to cervical spinal cord/medulla sub- total rupture ascending aorta with bleeding soft tissue neck mediastinum, pericardium with bilateral hematothorax pelvis fracture with soft tissue bleeding | brain edema, disruption articulation skull base-atlas total rupture ascending aorta with bleeding soft tissue neck/mediastinum, pericardium with bilateral hematothorax pelvis fracture with soft tissue bleeding | Head/neck chest |
29 | Thoracic aortic rupture status post open cardiac massage | hematothorax = signs of bleed to death status post open cardiac massage with serial rib fractures | chest |
