Injuries Related to Anesthesia Errors and Negligence
If you are undergoing a surgical procedure, one of the most important aspects of the procedure is the anesthesia that is administered to you. Anesthesia is essential for many surgeries, but when it is used inappropriately or incorrectly, it can result in serious injuries or death. For victims of anesthesia errors, pursing compensation from those responsible is critical for the recovery process.

Common Anesthesia Errors in Pennsylvania
When an injury has occurred in a medical procedure or surgery that may have been caused by an anesthesia-related error, the first aspects to consider are the level of care expected from the anesthesiologist during surgery and whether the mistake could have been reasonably avoided. Common errors include:
- Excessive or unnecessary use of anesthesia
- Complications from a spinal, epidural or nerve block
- Failure to consider possible complications
- Under-sedation, prolonged-sedation and over-sedation
- Improper monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate
Since anesthesiology is a complex area of medicine, it can be difficult to demonstrate negligence to a jury. Our lawyers are skilled at putting these errors in terms that you can understand and that juries can comprehend during trial.
