Characteristics and Toxicological Processing of Postmortem Pilot Specimens From Fatal Civil Aviation Accidents

[摘要] Autopsied biological samples from civil aviation accident pilot fatalities are submitted to the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) for toxicological evaluation. However, such evaluation is dependent upon types and amounts of submitted samples, and obtaining suitable samples is governed by the nature of an accident. Characteristics of those samples and associated toxicological processing have not been well documented in the literature. Therefore, the CAMI Toxicology Database was searched for these aspects.
