Anesthesia Error Lawyers in North Carolina

Assisting Victims of Medical Negligence & Their Loved Ones

While anesthesia is an amazing tool that allows medical professionals to perform myriad procedures without any pain for the patient, it is not without risks. That said, anesthesiologists are highly trained professionals who, when they act according to the standard duty of care, should take all necessary precautions to protect patients from risks and ensure the safe and effective administration of anesthesia.

Unfortunately, anesthesia errors happen with relative frequency. In fact, this is one of the most common examples of medical malpractice in the United States. If you or your loved one was the victim of an anesthesia error, turn to the legal team at Lanier Law Group for compassionate guidance and dedicated advocacy.

Our North Carolina anesthesia error lawyers are well-versed in all aspects of medical malpractice; we can thoroughly investigate your case and determine how you should proceed.

What Are the Most Common Anesthesia Errors?

As previously mentioned, anesthesia does come with some risks. A patient may experience certain side effects or he or she may not know that he or she is prone to anesthesia complications. This is extremely rare, however, and is unpredictable.

Anesthesia mistakes differ from general risks in that they occur when an anesthesiologist or another medical professional fails to uphold the standard duty of care. In other words, if an anesthesiologist does not provide the same level of care that you could reasonably expect another trained medical professional to provide, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice claim.

Some common examples of anesthesia errors include:

  • Administration of too much or too little anesthesia
  • Delayed anesthesia administration
  • Administration of the wrong type of anesthesia
  • Failure to identify adverse anesthesia reactions
  • Failure to identify anesthesia-drug interactions and potential adverse effects
  • Failure to monitor a patient under anesthesia
  • Defective medical equipment used during anesthesia administration
  • Failure to advise patient of possible side effects, risks, complications, etc.

Additional Consequences of An Anesthesia Error

Sadly, the consequences of an anesthesia error can be severe and even life-threatening.

A victim may suffer:

  • Oxygen deprivation
  • Brain damage
  • heart attack
  • Severe pain
  • And more
