[Course of apallic syndrome after clinical death during anesthesia]

Anesthesiological errors after clinical death during narcosis for strumectomy are considered. These errors were continuation of surgery after systole, inadequate management of the systemic arterial pressure and cerebral circulation after global ischemia, early switch-off of artificial ventilation of the lungs. All these steps led to prolonged coma, development of the apallic syndrome, and invalidism of the patient.
