Specialized Crime Investigation with Legal Medicine

Assignment No. 2

One of the medico legal cases, are those persons pronounced dead on
arrival, in your perception what is the meaning of this?

- In my perception when you pronounced a person dead on arrival it means the

person died before reaching the hospital. It indicate that a patient was clinically
dead when professional medical assistance arrived, often in the form of first
responders such as emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, or
police. A person is said to be dead on arrival by a doctor when they arrive at a
hospital, emergency room, clinic, or ward. If cardiopulmonary resuscitation or
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is found to be ineffective, a person may be declared
dead on arrival.
