MODERN POSSIBILITIES OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF DETERMINING THE DEGREE OF BLOOD LOSS IN FORENSIC MEDICAL PRACTICE

Abstract

During the forensic medical examination of a corpse in cases of acute blood loss, the most important issue for forensic medical experts is the determination of its amount. However, calculating the exact amount of blood lost is quite a difficult task. After all, a sufficiently accurate quantitative system for measuring the volume of blood in a corpse has not been developed, therefore, forensic medical experts in their calculations rely on well-known morphological signs of blood loss, which can often be quite subjective. That is why the analysis of the methods proposed by world scientists is relevant, as well as the development of new, digital methods for determining the degree of blood loss, which could provide reliable scientifically based conclusions.
