Anesthesia Malpractice

Sometimes, complications happen before you ever enter the operating room. When that happens, you need the attorneys at Giroux Pappas Trial Attorneys, Southfield on your side. Medical malpractice lawsuits can be difficult to navigate, especially when you’re dealing with the devastating consequences of anesthesia malpractice.

In many ways, anesthesia errors are even more dangerous than surgical errors, as they have a much higher chance of permanent brain damage, disability, or even death.

Did your anesthesiologist make any of these mistakes before surgery?

• Failing to check your medical history for any potential complications
• Failing to inform you of preoperative instructions (like not eating for a period of time prior to surgery)
• Failing to inform you of the risk of not following preoperative instructions

Did your anesthesiologist make any of these mistakes during surgery?

• Improper intubation
• Failure to administer the correct dosage or type of anesthetic
• Failure to monitor vital signs
• Use of faulty or incorrect medical equipment

The consequences of improper anesthesia practices can range from frustrating to frighteningly severe, from nausea and vomiting to anaphylactic shock (a severe allergic reaction) to breathing problems to permanent brain injury due to lack of oxygen.
