The difficulties in performing the clinico-anatomical analysis of fatal outcomes and establishing the direct causes of death are discussed. It is suggested the automatic monitoring of basic physiologic indices with an obligatory magnetic registration of heart rate respiratory movements and encephalogram should be introduced into the practice of the surgical departments and departments of intensive therapy. This system should be implemented when the operation started, when the patient is in the critical condition, terminal state and resuscitation.
