We investigated the Danish Patient Insurance Association files of patients, who were given financial compensation, because of an injury caused by an anaesthetic procedure. In the six-year-period 1996-2002, 374 patients were compensated in total 8.0 million euros for an injury caused by an anaesthetic procedure. Some anaesthetic complications may result in severe disability, whereby the financial compensation to the suffering patients is high. We estimate that approximately 0.2 per 1,000 of all patients receiving anaesthesia may develop complications that entitle them to financial compensation.
我们调查了丹麦患者保险协会的档案，这些档案涉及因麻醉程序导致受伤而获得经济赔偿的患者。在1996年至2002年的六年期间，共有374名患者因麻醉程序导致的伤害获得了总计800万欧元的赔偿。一些麻醉并发症可能导致严重残疾，因此给予受害患者的经济赔偿很高。我们估计，每1000名接受麻醉的患者中约有0.2人可能会出现并发症，从而有权获得经济赔偿。
