Anesthesia allows patients to undergo surgical procedures without experiencing pain or awareness. This carefully controlled state requires precise medication administration and continuous monitoring to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.
Unfortunately, numerous types of errors can compromise this process:
The consequences of these errors range from temporary discomfort to life-threatening complications. You might experience awareness during surgery, where you remain conscious but unable to move or communicate your distress. Oxygen deprivation leading to brain damage, heart attack, stroke, or wrongful death can also occur.
In Nevada and across the United States, all healthcare professionals are required to provide care that is consistent with accepted medical standards within their specialty. This means that your anesthesiologist’s decisions must align with what a competent and similarly trained provider would do under the same circumstances. When an anesthesiologist deviates from these established standards and causes harm, you have legal grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Proving that an anesthesiologist committed medical malpractice can be a complex process. You need to demonstrate not only what went wrong, but also how the provider’s actions fell below the acceptable standard of care. When you are recovering from the aftermath of an anesthesia error, this task can feel overwhelming.
