The Critical Role of the Anesthesiologist

Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists do far more than just put a patient to sleep. They are responsible for:

    • Reviewing a patient’s medical history for potential risks.

    • Choosing and administering the correct type and dosage of anesthetic drugs.

    • Intubating the patient to secure their airway.

    • Continuously monitoring the patient’s vital signs—heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels—throughout the entire procedure.

    • Making critical adjustments in real-time to ensure patient stability.

A failure at any of these crucial stages can lead to devastating harm.

Common and Devastating Anesthesia Errors

Our firm investigates all types of anesthesia malpractice claims, including those arising from:

    • Dosage Errors: Administering too much anesthesia, leading to overdose or brain damage, or too little, resulting in the horror of anesthesia awareness.

    • Improper Intubation: Damaging the throat, teeth, or vocal cords, or failing to properly secure the airway, leading to oxygen deprivation.

    • Failure to Monitor Vital Signs: Not noticing or reacting to dangerous changes in a patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, or oxygen saturation.

    • Failure to Recognize Allergic Reactions: Not identifying and treating an adverse reaction to anesthetic agents.

    • Delayed Delivery of Anesthesia: Causing unnecessary pain and trauma at the start of a procedure.

    • Improper Patient Positioning: Resulting in nerve damage or circulation issues.

    • Defective Equipment: Using faulty monitoring machines, vaporizers, or ventilators.

    • Poor Communication: Failing to communicate effectively with the surgeon and the rest of the operating room team.

The Life-Altering Consequences of Anesthesia Mistakes

An error that lasts only a few moments can cause a lifetime of damage. We represent clients and families dealing with the most serious outcomes, including:

    • Anesthesia Awareness: A traumatic experience where a patient is paralyzed but conscious and able to feel pain during surgery.

    • Hypoxic Brain Damage: Permanent brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen.

    • Stroke or Heart Attack during the procedure.

    • Spinal Cord Injury from errors in administering an epidural or spinal block.

    • Aspiration Pneumonia from inhaling vomit while under anesthesia.

    • Wrongful Death.
