Abstract
|
|
|
Insofar as the work of medicolegal investigators is concerned, the investigation of medical accidents associated with deaths constitutes one of the most perplexing, challeng-ing, and frustrating categories of cases. In many instances it is immediately clear why a patient has died during the performance of medical or surgical cares. However, even allowing for these categories, there remains a large number of deaths that are not readily or easily explained. These are the cases that present the greatest challenge to skilled forensic pathologist.
Detailed postmortem analyses will provide the greatest chances for successful de-termination of the specific etiology of the pathophysiological processes that produced the patient´s death and will there by best serve the legitimate interests of all concerned parties.
