What Type of Medical Malpractice Case Do You Have?
The use of anesthesia is an essential component of the surgical process. Anesthesiologists are responsible for administering the correct amount and type of anesthesia to a patient — as well as monitoring their response after the medication has been administered. When an error or dangerous reaction occurs, the results can be catastrophic. Anesthesia errors can result in serious injuries and wrongful death.
At the Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C., we understand the legal challenges facing injured clients and their families. If you have suffered due to a mistake by an anesthesiologist or another medical provider, we can help. Contact a New York City anesthesia error attorney to schedule an initial consultation.
The Effects of an Anesthesia Error
There are generally four types of anesthesia administered: general, spinal, local, and regional. Anesthesia errors most often occur when general anesthesia is administered (the kind that results in total unconsciousness) and when spinal anesthesia is administered. Although the results of an anesthesia can vary greatly depending on the medication and dose, they can include:
- Brain damage
- Stroke
- Coma
- Oxygen deprivation
- Heart attack
- Consciousness during surgery
- Wrongful death
Specific anesthesia errors can include administering the wrong dosage, administering the wrong medication, administering the medication too late, allergic reactions, failure to monitor patient, and more.
When we work with a client in an anesthesia error case, we start by identifying all potentially responsible parties. Next, we obtain all medical care documentation relating to the incident, and work with medical experts to review and analyze that information. Once we are fully informed about the circumstances leading to the injury, we handle all aspects of the medical malpractice lawsuit, through mediation, trial and appeal, if necessary. Throughout the entire process, we aim to keep clients educated and informed about the status of their claim.
