Anesthesia Errors
The physical intensity and invasiveness of many major surgeries require that an individual be put under anesthesia so that he or she does not feel the pain associated with the procedure. Like other medications, anesthetics have the potential to cause serious adverse health effects if they are administered improperly. When anesthesiologists make mistakes the consequences can be dangerous or even deadly.
Anesthesiologists should be held accountable when they make life-threatening errors. If you or someone you love suffered injuries as a result of an anesthesia error, contact the Madison medical malpractice lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, at 800-242-2874.
Dangerous Mistakes
Anesthesia errors include any sort of mistake on the part of the anesthesiologist. These mistakes may involve:
- Overdosing a patient with anesthesia
- Failing to monitor a patient’s condition while under general anesthesia
- Incorrect incubation of a patient
- Keeping a patient sedated for too long
Any of these errors may seriously injure or even kill a surgical patient. As such, anesthesiologists who make these errors may be subject to medical malpractice lawsuits from the affected patients or their families.
Victims of anesthesia errors who wish to pursue financial compensation for their injuries should consult with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer before pursuing legal action to learn more about their rights and options.
