Typical Injuries Associated with Anesthesia Errors

Anesthesia errors can have far-reaching consequences in the form of:

Stroke
Heart attack
Asphyxia
Trachea damage
Oxygen deprivation
Spinal cord injuries
Brain injuries
Coma
Death

For survivors, injuries sustained as a result of anesthesia errors are catastrophic, often requiring ongoing care and extensive medical treatment.

Common Anesthesia Mistakes in Texas

Anesthesia offers numerous benefits like any other type of medication. However, it is also dangerous in the hands of a careless, negligent, or reckless medical provider. These are a few of the more common medical errors associated with anesthesia:

Incorrect administration resulting in bodily injury
Administering the wrong dose
Failing to properly monitor a patient for adverse reactions
Delaying the administration of anesthesia
Administering the wrong type of anesthesia
Failure to treat or recognize the signs of duress in patients under anesthesia
Failure to review a patient’s medical history or chart to determine any potential adverse reactions
Negatively affecting blood pressure by improperly positioning a patient
Using defective devices or medical equipment to administer anesthesia or monitor patients

You could have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit if you or someone you love suffered due to an anesthesiologist’s negligence.

Grounds for Anesthesia Malpractice in Texas

To establish your claim for financial compensation, our anesthesia malpractice attorney will prove that you were owed a duty of care by the anesthesiologist. The second element is to prove that the medical care provider breached that duty of care by acting in an unreasonable and incompetent manner, which resulted in your injuries.

We will also need to prove that you incurred actual injuries and losses due to this act of medical negligence. Our outstanding medical malpractice attorney, Glenn W. Cunningham, who has been around the legal corners before and knows how to avoid legal impediments, will thoroughly investigate your case, build strong evidence, and leave no stone unturned to obtain maximum compensation from the defendants on your behalf.
