Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medical devices or equipment that were in situ (in place) during a patient's treatment or at the time of death are typically not removed and preserved as evidence by medical personnel. Instead, they are often left in place for examination by the coroner or medical examiner to ensure an accurate understanding of the circumstances surrounding the patient's death. Removing such devices could potentially alter the conditions under which the patient died, thereby affecting the investigation.
