Kansas City Surgical Injury LawyersAnesthesia ErrorsAnesthesia is usually administered to patients undergoing surgery or other painful medical procedures. Calculating the type and amount of or spinal general anesthesia to use is challenging even for the most experienced anesthetist or anesthesiologist. The consequences of a mistake in dosage or type of anesthesia can be very severe, causing permanent disability, loss of function, and death. If you or a family member has been injured because of an anesthesia error, you need to speak with a skilled medical malpractice lawyer with experience handling anesthesia error cases. You may be able to receive a financial award for your injuries. Contact the medical malpractice team at Dempsey & Kingsland, P.C. to learn how we can help you after an anesthesia mistake. Types of Anesthesia ErrorsOur attorneys help anesthesia error clients who have suffered cardiac arrest, brain injury, allergic reactions, paralysis, drug interactions, stroke, heart attack, coma, and the death of a family member. We have encountered patients who were not properly instructed about eating and drinking prior to receiving anesthesia, and suffered serious anesthesia side effects as a result. We have observed that elderly people, who frequently take many different medications, are not always informed or questioned about their medications, leaving them open to drug interactions. Many of the errors listed here produce some reduction of oxygen to the brain, and can lead to permanent brain damage or death. Costs of Anesthesia ComplicationsPeople suffering from the consequences of anesthesia mistakes often require lifetime care and support. Individuals with paralysis, brain damage, stroke, and other serious personal injuries may never fully recover. Even patients with moderate anesthesia reaction require extensive recovery time. A lengthy recovery period frequently leads to reduced work hours and income. Most patients require ongoing physical and mental therapy. Living with the consequences of an anesthesia error is expensive. You deserve compensation for the additional costs of therapy, medical treatment, medical equipment, and prolonged hospital stays. If the anesthesia or surgical error has lead to a wrongful death, families face funeral costs, reduced income, loss of companionship and support, pain and suffering, and other expenses caused by the absence of the loved one.
