A failure to properly monitor a patient's vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure while under anesthesia can cause serious problems. This could be due to general negligence or the inattentiveness of the anesthesiologist and other operating room staff. If changes in heart rate and blood pressure aren't noted immediately, devastating consequences can result due to improper anesthesia administration.
A dosage error or use of the wrong anesthesia for a particular patient can cause problems from the beginning. Monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure but failure to act when these show too high or low numbers can also be considered an anesthesia error. Intubation errors include misplacement or dislodgement of the ET, or endotracheal intubation tube placed down the throat to allow the patient to breathe, from pre-op to recovery can cause long-term damage as well. Anesthesia errors in connection with newborns often deal with oxygen delivery, and result in cerebral palsy or coma.
Negligence when it comes to anesthesia, just as negligence in almost any medical context, can cause lifelong consequences that require great expense for more medical treatments, medical equipment and care, as well as emotional and mental anguish by both the victim and his or her loved ones. A Brooklyn anesthesia malpractice lawyer is an expert in medical malpractice, has dealt with anesthesia malpractice before, and can help you if you've suffered as the result of negligence, of if a loved one has been the victim of negligence and been injured or has died as a result of an anesthesia error.
