Anesthesia is a necessary component of modern surgery. Before its invention, patients were given alcohol or opiates in an attempt to block out the pain. Some patients even went through with surgery while completely conscious. Today, most patients simply fall asleep and waking up once the surgery is over.
Unfortunately, anesthesia errors compromise patient care. Indeed, some errors are so serious that patients can suffer permanent physical or psychological injuries or even die. At Hersh Kirtman Injury Law, our legal team can bring a lawsuit in the event anesthesia errors harm you or a loved one. Call our Boca Raton anesthesia errors attorney today for legal guidance. We offer free consultations.
Anesthesiologists go to school for years to learn the proper way to administer anesthesia so that the patient is comfortable during surgery. Like all medical professionals, however, they can make mistakes that injure patients.
Some common errors include:
Many of these mistakes stem from confusion or poor communication in the operating room or from a simple lack of care when treating patients. Call our Boca Raton anesthesia errors lawyers if you have suffered from common medical malpractice errors mentioned above.
This type of medical malpractice can have serious side effects. The anesthesiologist is one of the most critical members of a surgical team. When he or she errs, patients can suffer catastrophically, including:
Even where a patient survives the surgery, they could need considerable medical care going forward. Someone suffering from brain damage or impairment could need help with daily activities for the remainder of their life. Post-traumatic stress disorder can also be disabling, preventing people from returning to work as they struggle with emotional distress or flashbacks.
