Legal Recourse for Anesthesia Errors

Anesthesia has allowed medical science to reach new heights, but it is not a system without its problems. Administering an appropriate dosage of anesthesia to a patient based on their height, weight, medical history, and impending operation is a science and requires the expertise of skilled anesthesiologists. Making a mistake when evaluating how much anesthesia to use can result in serious injury to the patient, which is why anesthesiologists must live up to extremely standards. A careless or negligent error has a tremendous toll on the victim and they have a right to pursue legal action against those responsible.

Anesthesia Preparation is Key

It can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint why an anesthesia complication occurred, which makes determining liability a challenging process. This is why most attorneys will start probing into the preparation your medical team took before administering the sedative. In most anesthesia error cases, the mistake was the result of poor preparation from the anesthesiology team. Every patient must be thoroughly evaluated in order to ensure they will have a safe reaction to the drug.

The following are a few common mistakes made when administering anesthesia:

  • Failure to check if the patient has an allergy to anesthesia
  • Failure to monitor the patient during the operation
  • Failure to respond to complications as they developed
  • Failure to review the patient’s medical history
  • Failure to evaluate patient beforehand
  • Failure to instruct the patient on how to prepare for sedation

If you were the victim of an anesthesia complication that occurred while the operation was underway, it would be impossible for you to know what happened or how the staff responded. Our team knows how to investigate the case by interviewing witnesses, requesting a video of the operation, and other means that can paint a clear picture of exactly what happened.
