Anesthesia errors are unfortunately one of the most common forms of medical negligence in the United States. The administration of anesthesia calls for great precision, and when errors do sometimes occur, they often result in severe injuries, complications or even death. Sexner & Associates LLC helps those affected by anesthesia negligence recover applicable past and future medical expenses, disability, loss of income, pain and suffering, and more.
 
Anesthesia negligence may happen at a doctor’s office or hospital. Some of the most common anesthesia mistakes include:

• Failure to properly monitor patient during the procedure
• Dosing errors including too much or too little anesthesia

• Drug or alcohol use by medical provider
• Failure to avoid harmful drug interactions
• Failure to recognize allergic patient complications
• Defective equipment
• Unnecessarily prolonged sedation
• Negligent or improper administration of oxygen
• Injury during intubation or failure to intubate
• Pulse oximeter turned off during procedure
• Leaving patient unattended
• Failure to recognize complications
• Communication errors between staff and patient before, during or after procedure

 
Such medical malpractice may result in a wide range of injuries including:

• Birth injuries
