Anesthesia Malpractice

Errors in the administration or monitoring of anesthesia can cause lifelong brain problems or even death. Victims of anesthesia malpractice have many legal options available to them, and should  consider contacting our experienced malpractice lawyers to help compensate for some of the tremendous loss that anesthesia malpractice can cause.

What is anesthesia malpractice?

The drugs given to a patient during a surgery make the patient totally reliant on the anesthesiologist for respiration – pumping out the bad gasses and bringing oxygen into the body. Anesthesiology can be more dangerous to the patient than the procedure itself.

Medical advances are making anesthesiology safer every day, bringing anesthesia-related deaths down from one in every 5,000 cases 20 years ago to the current rate of about one death per 200,000 to 300,000 cases.

Most anesthesiologists do everything they can to prevent accidents, but mistakes still do occur. Some of these mistakes include:

  • Overdose of anesthesia drugs
  • Failure to give the patient proper pre-anesthetic instructions
  • Interactions between drugs
  • Intubation complications
  • Failure to closely monitor a patient
  • Oxygen administration problems
  • Defective equipment
  • These errors can cause complications including heart attack, stroke, brain damage, paralysis, coma or death.
