Anesthesia Errors
Injury Claims Against Anesthesiologists
Anesthesia refers to many different types of drugs used by health care professionals to block pain during medical procedures. It is generally considered a reversible loss of sensation and responsiveness. Both an anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist are specially trained in the administration of these powerful and dangerous drugs.
Negligence or carelessness can often result in anesthesia mistakes, including failing to properly evaluate a patient before administering anesthesia, improper administration of oxygen, too much anesthesia, too little anesthesia, failure to properly monitor a patient, not providing the patient with adequate instructions prior to the procedure, drug interactions and improperly maintained or broken equipment.
When anesthesia errors occur, the results can be horrific, including:
- Paralysis
- Heart attack
- Brain injury
- Birth defects
- Coma
- Nerve damage
- Heart attack
- Death
