Serious Medical Errors During the Recovery Process
Errors during surgeries and other medical operations may cause injuries to patients. Once those operations are over, however, medical professionals may not properly monitor patients during their postoperative recovery. The risks associated with surgery do not go away after it is over; postoperative negligence has accounted for many complications in Pennsylvania hospitals.

Causes of Postoperative Negligence in Pennsylvania
Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are supposed to follow established standards of care when dealing with patients in post-op. Departures from these postsurgical standards could have serious consequences and may include:
- Failures to prevent or treat infections
- Failure to properly control bleeding
- Not monitoring vital signs appropriately
- Misjudging the effects of anesthesia
- Not administering medications properly
- Respiratory problems resulting from negligence
- Departure from postoperative care instructions
Patients need to be protected during these vulnerable times, and to improve the safety of future patients, it is important to hold negligent medical professionals accountable for their actions or inactions that result in patient injuries or deaths.
