Y70.3: Anaesthesiology devices associated with adverse incidents : surgical instruments, materials and devices (including sutures)

Adverse incidents associated with anesthesiology devices can occur due to a range of factors, including but not limited to, surgical instruments, materials, and devices such as sutures. The condition refers to situations where equipment used during anesthesia has negatively impacted a patient's health. This can include issues such as unintentional overdosing, allergic reactions to medications or materials used, mechanical failures, or complications from improperly sterilized equipment. Symptoms can vary greatly and may emerge during the surgical procedure or after its completion, depending on the specific incident. These symptoms could include unexpected pain, trouble breathing, infections, or other complications related to the device or material. Medical professionals use the specific details of a patient's reaction or symptoms to determine the most likely cause. This forms the basis for a thorough investigation of the incident.
