Y70: Anaesthesiology devices associated with adverse incidents
Y70.2: Anaesthesiology devices associated with adverse incidents : prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory devices
Anaesthesiology devices associated with adverse incidents specifically pertain to complications or problems that can arise due to the use of these devices, prosthetics, implants, or other materials. It primarily pertains to situations where the items used for inducing and maintaining anesthesia during medical procedures, don't perform as expected or cause unintended issues. While these incidents can range in severity and outcomes, they often present with unexpected medical symptoms or complications during or after the procedure. The issues may be related to equipment failure, incorrect usage, or biological reactions to the devices or materials. Some examples could include a patient having an allergic reaction to a prosthetic, an anesthetic machine malfunctioning during surgery, or an implanted device not functioning correctly. The specific symptoms and progression can vary greatly, as they depend on the type of device or material involved and the individual patient's situation and overall health.
