Ohio and Kentucky Lawyers for Anesthesia Mistakes

Anesthesia is a necessary element for most surgical procedures. Unfortunately, there are always risks associated with general anesthesia. Anesthesia mistakes can and sometimes do occur, commonly leading to permanent injuries, brain damage, or even death. An anesthesia mistake can also lead to low blood pressure or insufficient blood flow. This is a dangerous combination that can leave a patient disabled or fatally injured. 

Even the most experienced medical professional can make a mistake that results in a patient’s injury. If you or your family member has been injured by an anesthesia mistake, contact TLF: The Medical Injury Law Firm today. The experienced attorneys at TLF can represent you in your legal claim and work to recover maximum compensation for you or your loved one’s injuries. Call us today at 800-698-4054 to schedule a free consultation. 

Anesthesia Mistake Case - Malpractice Attorneys

An anesthesia error is a type of medical malpractice that has serious consequences. Anesthesia overdose and other anesthesia-related mistakes can lead to serious injuries or death. Medical professionals have a duty of care to their patients, but medical errors happen all the time. Accidents can be caused when the anesthesiologist or other medical professional fails to properly monitor their patient. Accidents can also occur when professionals are distracted during a medical procedure.

The Cincinnati and Covington medical malpractice attorneys at TLF have years of experience investigating medical injuries like these. As a result, our skilled attorneys can handle even the most complex lawsuits related to anesthesia errors and injuries. No matter what happened in your case, our medical negligence attorneys will properly investigate your claim and get to the bottom of what happened and who is responsible. Contact us today for a free initial consultation to determine if you have a medical malpractice claim.  

Types of Anesthesia Errors

General anesthesia is used to prevent patients from waking up during many surgeries and other medical procedures. Like other medical professionals, anesthesiologists must undergo years of schooling and special training. One wrong move can lead to serious injuries like permanent brain damage and even death. 

Some of the more common anesthesia errors are often preventable with proper care. These errors include things like: 

  • Administering too much anesthesia
  • Administering too little anesthesia
  • Failure to check patient’s medical history for known allergies
  • Failure to diagnose low blood pressure
  • Failure to monitor heart rhythm
  • Failure to monitor level of consciousness
  • Failure to maintain oxygen saturation
  • Failure to monitor vital signs
  • Failure to maintain ventilation
  • Improper hydration
  • Adverse reactions between anesthesia and other medication

All of these errors are preventable with proper monitoring and trained medical staff. If any of these preventable mistakes occur, the victim and/or their family may have a valid medical malpractice lawsuit against the negligent parties. However, surgical errors like these can be difficult to litigate, especially since the patient is usually not aware of the mistake when it happened. If you believe you were injured during surgery, whether due to improper administration of anesthesia or any other medical mistake, contact the Covington anesthesia error attorneys at TLF today. Our attorneys can guide you through the legal process of filing a lawsuit against the liable party.

What are Common Injuries Caused by Anesthesia Errors?

Anesthesia-related injuries are often the result of anesthesia medication decreasing blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Decreased oxygen to the brain can cause serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, and even wrongful death. Organ damage, birth injuries and birth defects are all injuries that can be caused by anesthesia mistakes, all of which can lead to permanent injuries and lifelong complications. 

In many cases, patients who are not given enough anesthesia can wake up during surgery. This can be a traumatic and horrifying experience. When providers fail to check information with the patient prior to surgery, allergies and drug interactions may also be missed. This negligence can lead to a life-altering mistake that can cost someone their life. As most of these injuries can be prevented with proper training and appropriate medical care from the anesthesiologist, our medical malpractice attorneys at TLF work to hold the responsible party legally liable. 

What Damages are Recoverable for Anesthesia Mistakes?

After a surgical procedure, your body needs time to heal. If you undergo surgery and don’t have a responsible and vigilant medical team, surgical errors can result and leave you seriously injured. There are both economic and non-economic damages that you can recover if you were injured due to surgical malpractice. At TLF, we fight for damages such as:

  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earning potential
  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment in life
  • Wrongful death
  • And more

If you have been injured due to the negligence of an anesthesiologist or another medical professional’s negligence, they should be the ones to pay for their mistake, not you. The competent and capable attorneys at TLF are ready to help you and answer any medical malpractice questions you may have.
