[Legal requirements for continuing education and legal control].

The patient has a claim to treatment commensurate with the standard of an experienced specialist. He who performs a service in which he is incompetent or no longer competent increases the risk of the treatment and at the same time exposes himself to the accusation of criminal responsibility. The systematic provision of continued education and advance training is essential to guarantee professional qualifications. This also includes the requisite organization (procedural quality) and the provision of appropriate personnel, equipment and premises (structural quality) at the place of surgery.

[Intensive care--forensic problems from the viewpoint of divided responsibility].

The agreements between surgery/anesthesiology (1970) differentiate between specialist and indisciplinary intensive care units. In the specialist unit the surgeon is also responsible for intensive care therapy. In the interdisciplinary units the surgeon is responsible for the treatment of the primary disease and the anesthesiologist is responsible for the intensive care therapy. Their cooperation is determined by a strict division of labor and the principle of confidence. The agreements, which have proven successful legally, leave the decision about a more detailed delimitation of the tasks to local arrangements. It is suggested that a concretization of the agreements of 1970 should perhaps be considered.
