autopsy protocols

Autopsy protocols are systematic procedures followed when conducting an autopsy, which is a thorough examination of a deceased person's body to determine the cause of death and gather information for medical or legal reasons. The process involves documenting the body, performing external and internal examinations, collecting tissue samples for testing, and recording findings meticulously. These protocols ensure the autopsy is conducted consistently, accurately, and safely, providing essential insights into health conditions, injuries, or other factors that contributed to death. They also help maintain integrity and clarity in forensic investigations or medical assessments.
