Abstract

Background: Increase in the number of surgical operations and their diversity together with public’s expectation from an anesthetic specialist, have led to greater responsibility against legal laws. Knowledge of adverse outcomes and causes of injuries directs us to causative agents and programming for prevention. The current study can be assumed as an step for this goal.Methods: In this study we performed a descriptive-analytic review on claims against anesthesiologists referred Tabriz Medical Council or Legal Medicine Organization from 1995 to November 2000.Results: Database was spilt into broad categories: complications or anesthetic outcomes and damaging events. Damaging events are the specific incidents that lead to adverse outcomes. Analysis of 18 claims revealed death as the most common adverse outcome (9 case, 5%), brain damage the second (7 cases 39%), and damage the third (2 cases, 11%).Damaging events leading to the adverse outcomes were predominantly respiratory (12 cases, 16.5%) and others (3 cases, 16.5%). Difficulties in management of the respiratory system were the most common cause of injury such as death and brain damage. There mechanisms of injury accounted for the majority of adverse respiratory events: inadequate ventilation (66.6%), difficult tracheal intubations (8.3%), and esophageal intubations (16.6%).Conclusion: As respiratory events were the most common cause of adverse outcomes, in order to reduce such outcomes, we recommend use of standard monitoring such as pulse oximetry (SPO2) and end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) to diagnose and prevent respiratory adverse outcomes (decreased ventilation) and its treatment that should lead to a reduction in death and brain damage rates.
