[Death on the operating table (author's transl)]
Abstract
Inquests following death on the table present the expert with a number of problems: he has to assess not only the causal connection between therapeutic or surgical procedures and death of the patient, but also the part played by anaesthesia in the fatal outcome. A number of cases are reported and an attempt is made to provide some objective guide-lines for the expert.
