FORENSIC MEDICINE - Post-mortem Lividity Timeline Vol 1 | NEET PG 2023 PYQ

🎧 High-Yield Daily Clinical Revision Podcast for NEET PG, FMGE, and INI-CET! 📖 Clinical Case Study: [Challenge Vol 1] A body is discovered in a supine position. Lividity is observed on the back of the neck, chest, and limbs, and it does not blanch on pressure. Approximately how many hours have elapsed since death? 📝 Options: • Option A: A. More than 6-8 hours • Option B: B. Less than 2 hours • Option C: C. Between 2 to 4 hours • Option D: D. Between 4 to 6 hours ✅ Correct Answer: Option A 💡 Explanation: Post-mortem lividity (livor mortis) starts within 1-2 hours, becomes fully developed in 4 hours, and gets fixed (does not blanch/displace on pressure) after 6-8 hours due to hemolysis and diffusion of blood into tissues. (Volume 1 High-Yield Concept Review) 🧠 Mnemonic: Livor Mortis Timeline V1 • 1-2 Hours ➔ Appears as patchy discoloration • 4 Hours ➔ Coalescing, completely formed • 6-8 Hours ➔ Fixed (no longer blanches on pressure) ⚠️ Exam Trap to Avoid: Blanching occurs before lividity is fixed (under 6 hours); once fixed (after 6-8 hours), pressure does not displace it. 🔗 Follow Us & Prepare Smart: • 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/drstemcell_1 • 🧵 Threads: threads.net/@drstemcell_1 • 📺 YouTube: youtube.com/@drstemcell-o2h • 👥 Facebook: facebook.com/drstemcell • 🍎 Apple Podcasts: Apple Podcasts Link 🏆 Join the discussion!
