title: [Crux medicorum: Ondine's curse (author's transl)].
abstract: All known cases of the Ondine's curse syndrome with lifethreatening complications in consequence of narcosis, sedatives or oxygen-administration are reported. The avoidance of accidents requires blood gas analysis and more attention to the less well-known phenomenon--possibly a cause of the sudden-death-syndrome.
