In routine therapy Again, the woman dies unexpectedly at the dentist

Patient from North Rhine-Westphalia does not survive routine surgery
Again, a patient died during a treatment with a dentist. As the "Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger" reports, the 62-year-old woman had already died on May 30 during a routine intervention. The autopsy revealed neither organic causes nor previous illnesses, now the results of the toxicological investigations would be awaited. The case is strongly reminiscent of the tragic death of an 18-year-old from Hamburg. The young man had died a few days earlier during several hours of root canal treatment under general anesthesia.

62-year-old dies at the end of May on periodontitis treatment
The report is strongly reminiscent of the case of 18-year-old Dominik A. from Hamburg: A 62-year-old patient from North Rhine-Westphalia apparently died during a dental treatment. According to the report of the "Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger", the incident happened already on May 30th. According to Gisela J. from Hemer in the Sauerland a routine periodontitis treatment was performed, for which no anesthesia was necessary. Suddenly there were complications during the procedure, whereupon the dentists called the ambulance. But even his rescue attempts had no success, so that the woman finally died in the dental office.

Cause of death not yet clear
Why the patient died during treatment, so far could not be clarified, because the autopsy did not produce a clear result. As the husband of the deceased explained, there is no organic findings or any pre-existing conditions. "I can not believe it, my wife was always very healthy. Why is that happend?". This question is asked by the shocked Hemeran again and again, reports the newspaper. According to the report, the results of the toxicological investigations are still available, but the investigations are already underway. Wolfgang Jakob hopes to finally get answers in order to explain what happened. "We had so much to do," he said.

Root canal treatment ends fatally for 18-year-olds
Only a few days ago, the case of a fatal dental surgery went through all the media. The 18-year-old Dominik A. from Hamburg died after extensive root canal treatment under general anesthesia. The preliminary autopsy result initially showed heart failure as a result of a previous illness and the burden of the multiple-hour procedure as a cause of death. However, as the boy's mother later explained, Dominik had apparently taken an increased amount of pain medication daily in advance. (No)
