What Causes Anesthesia Errors? 

Anesthesia technology today is a specialized area of medicine. Although it is generally safe, sometimes mistakes are made, resulting in severe injuries and even death.

For the most part, human error is typically to blame for anesthesia injuries, such as: 

  • Failing to conduct a thorough preoperative evaluation
  • Neglecting to identify anesthesia risks unique to the patient 
  • Not monitoring oxygen and blood pressure 
  • Failing to have a resuscitation team on hand
  • Administering too little or too much anesthesia
  • Administering anesthesia too quickly 
  • Failing to have proper monitoring equipment available
  • Using general anesthesia in place of one that may be safer 

Medical personnel must act quickly to avoid tragedy when anesthesia errors are made. A delay in response time can often make all the difference. 

What Injuries Can Result From Anesthesia Errors? 

Anesthesia errors can result in serious injuries that may have long-term implications, including:

  • Stroke
  • Heart attacks
  • Respiratory arrest 
  • Seizures
  • Paralysis
  • Obstructed airways
  • Brain damage
  • Organ damage
  • Nerve damage
  • Dental damage
  • Allergic reactions leading to severe complications
  • Vegetative state 

If an anesthesia error resulted in your injury, our Portland medical malpractice attorneys can help you recover both economic and non-economic damages, such as: 

  • Medical bills, current and future
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future income
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish  
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement 

Anesthesiologists often carry personal malpractice insurance because they are merely under contract with hospitals. When a claim is filed against the anesthesiologist, the claim includes the surgical staff and hospital. 

There may be other parties liable as well, including medical equipment manufacturers. 

Our Portland anesthesia error lawyers will ensure all claims are thorough and properly filed.

I was involved in a serious auto accident. Not that there is a good time to be in any accident, it just happened to be 2020. Tillman Law and support staff kept me in the loop as the court system was disarray with all the Covid issues. The staff was very professional and courteous. In a nutshell, they took care of me.

My husband was in a bad car accident a few years back, and he was stopped due to traffic. He was behind a fuel truck, and someone rear-ended him, going 60mph. The worst part was our 6 mo old was in our and the truck was totaled beyond repair and my husbands back injured severly he ended up with 2 broken vertebrae. Our child had ptsd any time getting into a vehicle after that. Tillman made this right even though we couldn't do much for our son other comfort him and make car rides more comfortable from there on out Tillman was able to get my husband the money he deserved after the other driver was extremely negligent and either not paying attention or on his phone or something unfortunately this was during covid and when the police came they didnt do a single thing to check for any of that. We can't say enough good things about Aaron Tillman he gave us our hope back and the ability to have back surgery to repair a lot of his back issues due to the car wreck. So if you have been in an accident definitely call Tillman Law they're amazing super professional, kind and empathetic beings who will work for the best possible outcome for your case and fight they won't just roll over and play dead they spent about 2.5 years on my husbands case never giving up. He was always super honest with my husband and always communicated everything. So again, thank you, Aaron Tillman, and thank you to your law firm for working so tirelessly. We appreciate it more than you know.

I can’t recommend Tillman Law enough. We were in a sticky situation from a car accident in December and my partner was out of work for over a month. Aaron told us we may not be able to get those lost wages, but he would definitely try to fight the insurance for them and even then we might not see the money for a long time. It’s only been 3 1/2 months since the accident and we just got our lost funds today. Tillman Law was quick, efficient, and made this entire situation much less painful. I appreciate everything they’ve done for us.
