Cleveland Anesthesia Malpractice Lawyers
When you undergo surgery or any medical procedure requiring anesthesia, you are putting your life in the hands of the doctor anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetists. If a medical professional makes a preventable anesthesia mistake by failing to meet the proper standard of care, the at-fault doctor or anesthesiologist can be held accountable.
Excessive anesthesia, too little anesthesia or the wrong anesthesia can lead to catastrophic injury, including coma, brain damage, permanent injury or even wrongful death. Every doctor, anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist has a duty to ensure that every precaution has been taken to prevent complications to the patients under their care. If you or a loved one has been injured by an anesthesia error, call or contact us to arrange a free consultation. We can help you sort through the confusing medical records with our trained medical staff to help decide whether this is a case you should pursue.
Common anesthesia errors include:
- Excessive anesthesia
- Being kept "under" anesthesia for too long: Being under anesthesia for too long deprives the brain of life-sustaining oxygen, leading to brain injuries and death.
- Awakening during surgery: A horrific and psychologically scarring experience, which can often lead to interrupted or repeat surgeries; surgical delays can lead to serious injuries or death.
- Locked-in syndrome: When the mind awakens during surgery, but the body is still immobilized — with the potential for extreme psychological impact.
- Conversion errors: Conversion errors — improperly converting from one measurement, like ounces, to another, like milliliters — can lead to excessive or inadequate anesthetizing and subsequent injuries.
- Too little or too much anesthesia
- Preventable allergic reactions
- Harmful drug interactions
- Failure to monitor vital signs
- Delayed anesthesia
