Charleston Anesthesia Error Legal Assistance

Are You Eligible for Compensation After Anesthesia Errors?

An anesthesiologist will perform the procedure of administering anesthesia to a patient who is undergoing surgery. During that time, the patient is in a semi-conscious state and anesthesiologists are in charge of ensuring that the patient remains in this state by monitoring the levels and supporting the patient’s vitals and oxygen.

Understanding Complications From Anesthesia Errors

Medical malpractice occurs when an anesthesiologist does not adhere to the medically accepted standard. How is the standard set? The rule of thumb is based on how any other reasonable professional with the same amount of training and experience would act in the same situation.

These are some common causes of anesthesia errors:

• Failure to monitor patient’s vitals
• Failure to monitor patient’s oxygen levels
• Complications due to drug interactions
• Delaying the administration of anesthesia
• Lack of or overdose of anesthesia
• Failure to prevent allergic reactions that could have been prevented
