Anesthesia Errors Attorney in Syracuse
A Syracuse Law Firm That Helps Victims of Medical Malpractice
Anesthesia is a vital part of surgery, as it allows surgeons to operate without patients feeling any pain. Administered properly, patients wake up when the surgery is over and don't remember a thing. But when there is an error due to negligence, patients can suffer pain and injury. The medical malpractice attorneys at Cherundolo Law Firm, PLLC help patients recover compensation for their injuries.
There are many factors to be considered when administering anesthesia. An anesthesiologist will consider a patient's age, weight, gender, medical history, medications taken, and other factors when determining the proper type and amount of anesthesia for surgery. A patient's condition must also be closely monitored during surgery in case there are complications.
Some examples of negligence in anesthesia errors include:
- Administering too much or too little anesthesia
- Delayed delivery of anesthesia
- Administering an incorrect anesthesia drug
- Failure to prevent interactions with other drugs
- Failure to provide patient instructions before administering anesthesia
- Failure to monitor patient health during surgery
Anesthesia errors can harm patients in many ways. Patients could experience brain damage, respiratory problems, heart attack, stroke, awareness of pain, paralysis or death. When the negligence of an anesthesiologist or other medical professional causes surgical errors, we hold them accountable.
