Results of the qualitative analysis of the materials of such examinations undertaken with regard to the issue of maternal mortality (MM) in 2000-2007 are presented. Examples of diagnostic failure are considered as a cause of deficient medical attendance in gynecological and obstetric practice and in the treatment of iatrogenic (instrumental) complications during and after endotracheal intubation.

We studied the trend in the number of forensic-medical examinations in trials against obstetricians and gynecologists conducted in Primorsky Region in 1997-2005. Most typical defects in obstetric-gynecological care are characterized. These cases are analysed in terms of forensic-medical practice. Detection and forensic-medical analysis of the above defects contribute to optimization of the diagnosis and treatment both in obstetric-gynecological practice and in wide medical practice.
