Military Anesthesiologist Malpractice Attorneys
Inappropriate Monitoring or Failures to Monitor Vital Signs
A patient is anesthetized before undergoing surgery so that they enter into an unconscious, sedated state and not feel the pain of the procedure. But when an anesthesiologist makes an error, whether related to the amount of anesthesia a patient is receiving or to the patient’s vital signs, serious injuries may occur.
The anesthesia errors the military medical malpractice lawyers at Swartz & Reed, LLP, handle include:
- Too much anesthesia
- Too little anesthesia
- Failure to monitor vital signs
- Incorrectly monitoring vital signs
- Administering anesthesia to an allergic patient
- Drug interactions
- Delays in administering the anesthesia
Injuries that May Result from Anesthesia Errors
Any of the above errors may result in serious injury to the brain, heart or body. These may include:
- Heart arrhythmia
- Asphyxia
- Stroke
- Pain during surgery
- Death
