From the Paper:

"Malpractices while administering anesthesia are responsible for a huge amount of cases of medical malpractice. Compensation emanating from errors of anesthesia is damaging, thus sometimes leading to lasting injury, intense damage of the brain or loss of life. Proving the carelessness of the anesthesiologist or the anesthesia personnel is complicated as well, since the plaintiff is sometimes in comatose condition or under the influence of medicines and untrustworthy accounts are sometimes the remaining sources of information. Whereas injuries related to anesthesia are in majority of the situations contemplated as happening inside the operating room, it can also happen in a broad diversity of environments, inclusive of pre-operative and recovery rooms, in any procedure rooms, during labor and delivery, at the time of medication in case of dental procedures, and also at the time of broad range of out-patient medical processes in surgical clinics and also in the offices of doctors.
