New York Anesthesia Error
Accident Attorneys

People in hospitals all over the world undergo anesthesia every day. Usually everything turns out fine; however, when anesthesia errors do occur, the results can be irreversible damage, extreme pain, psychological terror, and even death.

Under anesthesia, a patient loses bodily sensation with or without a loss of consciousness. The patient's health and, possibly, existence depends upon the vigilance, careful monitoring and skill of the anesthesiologist.

Types of Anesthesia Errors

• Too much anesthesia.
• Too little anesthesia.
• Failing to provide the patient with proper instructions, such as not eating or drinking prior to surgery.
• Harmful drug interactions with the anesthesia.
• Administering anesthesia to an allergic patient.
• Delayed anesthesia delivery.
• Defective medical devices used during sedation.
• Failure to properly monitor a patient
• Failure to properly administer oxygen during surgery.
• Inadequate product labeling.

Physical Injuries Caused By Anesthesia Error

• Brain injury.
• Stroke.
• Nerve damage.
• Spinal cord injury.
• Paralysis.
• Asphyxia.
• Heart attack.
• Birth defects.
• Coma.
• Death.

Anesthesia Awareness

One of the most traumatizing anesthesia errors is called anesthesia awareness. This happens when the patient receives too little anesthesia or the delivery is delayed.

During anesthesia awareness you are conscious of what is going on during the procedure, and often in extreme pain. But, you are paralyzed, unable to move or communicate your suffering, and sometimes disoriented due to waking up in the middle of surgery. It is like being in the worst nightmare of your life.

In fact, some of the emotional and psychological damage from anesthesia awareness can affect your life indefinitely.

Emotional and Psychological Effects of Anesthesia Awareness
• Panic and anxiety disorders.
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
• Sleep disorders.
• Flashbacks.
• Extreme fear of doctors and medical settings.

Anesthesia error cases are complex. The anesthesiologist is often the first person we look at for poor record keeping and failure to properly evaluate a patient. These are just a couple of mistakes which are often made by doctors, nurses and other staff in these cases. It is not unusual, therefore, to have a case with multiple parties at fault.
