Anesthesia Homicides

A recent publication discussing the role anesthesiologists played in solving crimes.

Anesthesiology - Homicides Using Muscle Relaxants, Opioids, and Anesthetic Drugs: Anesthesiologist Assistance in Their Investigation and Prosecution

Case One: Homicide Using Rocuronium
Case Two: Homicide Using Succinylcholine
Case Three: Homicide Using Fentanyl
Case Four: Accidental Homicide from Fentanyl and Midazolam
Case Five: Attempted Homicide Using Pancuronium

Last year the Mahmoud al-Mabhouh assassination was big news not just because of his political position, but also because most of the process was videotaped and succinylcholine was found to be used.
