Anesthesia is a common medication used on patients prior to certain surgical and medical procedures to aid in relaxation, drowsiness, and possibly unconsciousness. The main purpose of anesthesia is to help prevent patients from feeling any pain that they may experience during the medical procedure. Many anesthesia errors take place every year in the U.S., which are preventable accidents that occur due to the negligence of anesthesiologists.

Anesthesiologists must review the client’s chart and medical history before administering the anesthesia, to ensure that the patient does not have medical conditions or is not currently taking medications that will cause serious reactions when combined with the anesthesia. When an anesthesiologist or physician does not closely monitor patients who are under anesthesia the patients are at high risk for serious side effects and possibly death. Like other medications, anesthesia does have side effects that some patients may experience. It is the doctor’s duty to record any change in the patient, after he or she has been given the medication.

If a doctor fails to properly monitor and record the patient’s reaction to anesthesia, the doctor has committed negligence. When an anesthesiologist gives a patient the wrong amount of anesthesia, or the wrong form of the drug, as a result of neglect or carelessness, a NY anesthesia error has occurred. Anesthesia error is a serious type of malpractice, and the victim has every right to hire an experienced New York medical malpractice attorney to protect their rights!
