Özet

Peroperatuvar dönem ve postoperatif 24. saati de kapsayan perioperatif ölümlerde, sadece anesteziye bağlı ölümlerin oranı oldukça düşüktür. Bu çalışmada hekimlerin davalı olduğu perioperatif ölümler araştırılarak, Türkiye'de anestezi hekiminin durumunun, diğer cerrahi branş hekimleri ile karşılaştırmalı olarak tartışılması amaçlanmıştır. Adli Tıp Kurumu 1. İhtisas Kurulu'na gönderilen 2000 yılına ait raporlar retrospektif olarak incelenmiş ve perioperatif dönemde ölümle sonuçlanan olgular çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bu olgular, sosyo-demografik özellikleri, yapılan ameliyat, yapılan ameliyatın acil ya da elektif olup olmadığı, ölüm nedeni, hekim hatası olup olmadığı, hangi hekimde hata olduğu, ameliyattan sonra olgunun kaybedildiği zaman gibi parametreler açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Doğrudan anestezi hekiminin hatası olup olmadığı sorulan 3 olgu vardır. Perioperatuar ölümü nedeniyle anestezi hekiminin kusuru değerlendirilen toplam 42 olgudan 3 olguda anestezi hekimine hata verildiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak ülkemizde de perioperatif ölümlerde sadece anestezi hekiminin hatasına bağlı ölümlerin, diğer ülkelere benzer şekilde oldukça az görüldüğü sonucuna varılmıştır.
