Have You or a Loved One Been Harmed by Anesthesia negligence in Florida?

Anesthesia Negligence Attorneys

Imagine going into surgery expecting to improve your health, only to wake up with severe complications caused by anesthesia errors. The trust you placed in medical professionals has been broken, and you’re left dealing with physical pain, emotional trauma, and mounting medical bills. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and help is available.

Anesthesiology and Its Risks

Anesthesiology is a critical medical specialty focused on administering medications to prevent patients from feeling pain during surgeries and other medical procedures. An anesthesiologist’s role is not just to “put you to sleep” but to carefully assess your medical history, monitor your vital signs, and ensure your safety throughout the procedure. Factors such as age, weight, medical history, and existing health conditions all play a significant role in determining the type and amount of anesthesia used. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen, and when they do, the consequences can be devastating.

Common Types of Anesthesia Negligence

Anesthesia errors can occur for various reasons, including negligence, lack of proper training, or inadequate monitoring or assessments. Some common examples include:

Respiratory Distress or Cardiac Arrest

Overdosing on anesthesia can cause a patient’s oxygen levels to drop dangerously low, leading to brain damage or death.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Incorrect administration of epidural anesthesia can result in nerve damage or paralysis.

Anesthesia Awareness

Administering insufficient anesthesia may cause a patient to wake up during surgery, leading to severe physical and psychological trauma.

Allergic Reactions

Failing to review a patient’s allergies can result in life-threatening reactions.

Improper Monitoring

Not keeping a close eye on vital signs can prevent timely intervention if complications arise.
