Difficulties with anesthesia are often easily corrected during surgery and in many cases, do not become problematic for the patient. However, errors in the amount or type of anesthesia administered, or a failure to closely monitor the anesthesia's effects during and after surgery, may result in serious complications.

Anesthesia medications are powerful drugs that are used to render patients unconscious and lose the ability to feel pain temporarily. Not only must anesthesiologists consider the patient's medical history and the potential reaction of these drugs with other medications given during and immediately after surgery, but they must also administer very specific dosages and closely monitor the patient's condition in order to prevent severe side effects and anesthesia injuries. Some common anesthesia-related injuries include:
- Stroke
- Brain damage
- Spinal cord damage
- Cardiac arrest
- Wrongful death
Our San Diego attorney offers effective legal representation to clients who have suffered such injuries, or those who have lost a relative, as the result of medical malpractice related to administration of anesthesia.
