- Title
Beweisvereitelung durch nachträgliches Hantieren an Narkosegerät.
- Abstract
The article is about a legal dispute concerning possible tampering with an anesthesia device, which could be seen as obstruction of evidence. It discusses whether medical guidelines for determining the medical standard are relevant and how the causality of medical malpractice can be proven. It is stated that tampering with an anesthesia device twice after a treatment that resulted in oxygen deprivation for the patient cannot necessarily be considered as obstruction of evidence. The decision of the district court is deemed correct, as potential claims by the plaintiff would be time-barred.
