Anesthesia Malpractice
Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists who administer anesthesia have a very important duty to their patients. They must make sure that they administer the proper dosage and type of anesthesia so that the patient can undergo surgery safely. During a surgical procedure, they are needed to monitor and regulate the patient’s blood pressure and vital functions. The anesthesiologist must also make sure that the patient’s heart, lungs and other functions are stable before and during surgery. And of course, the patient and his or her loved ones place a huge level of trust in the skill and training of the medical professional. However, unfortunately there are many cases where medical professionals are negligent in the administration of anesthesia. If you have been injured due to the negligent administration of anesthesia, a lawyer can help you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Anesthesia Problems
Negligence means that the anesthesiologist or other professional fell below the accepted standard of care that is expected of a reasonable medical professional under similar circumstances. When anesthesia malpractice occurs during surgery, the consequences are very serious and can lead to serious injuries or even death. Some patients suffer from respiratory failure, brain damage, cardiovascular injuries, disability or fall into comas as a result of negligent medical care.
