It is absolutely necessary that anesthetists pay attention to some basic principles concerning protection and safety of patients, considerations on the comfort of patients, quality measures and the resulting practical consequences. Particularly prone to liability problems are the postoperative phase and discharge of patients which will be demonstrated in some exemplary cases.
