Anesthesia Errors

Has a loved one suffered injury or death because of poorly administered anesthesia? Unfortunately, medical malpractice contributes to approximately 80,000 deaths in the United States each year. Anesthesia errors are part of this problem.

There are four major types of anesthesia used: general, spinal, regional and local. For Regional anesthesia anesthetic drugs are placed close to a nerve to block the nerves ability to signal pain to the brain. Spinal anesthesia is used commonly during childbirth to minimize pain in the lower body. Local anesthesia numbs the skin and tissue only and is used commonly for dental procedures.

Unfortunately, regardless of the type of sedation method used if it is done incorrectly, there can be long-term side effects such as coma, brain injury and even death. If someone you love has been injured due to an anesthesia error a personal injury attorney who is an expert in medical malpractice law can help answer your questions and help you file a personal injury claim.
