Anesthesia Error

Anesthesia Error Attorney in Hawaii

Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Against Anesthesiologists

Anesthesia includes many different drugs used by health care providers to block pain during medical procedures. Both an anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist are specially trained in the administration of these powerful and dangerous drugs. If they make mistakes that result in patients suffering preventable injuries, they can be held liable.

If you or a loved one were injured due to an anesthesia error, contact a Hawaii attorney from Bostwick & Peterson, LLP to find out if you are entitled to compensation. An anesthesia mistake can lead to permanent disabilities that require extensive medical treatment and care. A lawyer can explain your rights and discuss how best to pursue damages.

Anesthesia Error Injuries

Negligence can result in anesthesia mistakes, including failing to properly evaluate a patient before administering anesthesia, improper administration of oxygen, too much anesthesia, too little anesthesia, failure to properly monitor a patient, not providing the patient with adequate instructions prior to the procedure, drug interactions, and improperly maintained or broken equipment.

When anesthesia errors occur, the results can be devastating:

  • Paralysis
  • Heart attack
  • Brain injury
  • Birth defects
  • Coma
  • Nerve damage
  • Heart attack
  • Death
