Attorney for anesthesia related injuries

Anesthesia is a method used to control pain during surgery or other types of procedures using medicines called anesthetics. Anesthetics are administered by anesthesiologists, doctors who are specifically trained in the use and administration of these drugs and are an integral part of any surgical procedures as well as post-operative care during hospital stays. Anesthetics can be inhaled, given intravenously, or by injection.

There are several types of anesthesia:

• General anesthesia – used for general surgery/ affects the brain and the entire body
• Regional anesthesia – blocks pain to a larger part of the body such as the legs, hands, feet
• Local anesthesia – numbs a small part of the body for a minor procedure

Anesthesia malpractice can result from a variety of errors on the part of anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists ( CRNAs), and hospitals, in general. These errors are often life-changing, resulting in permanent injury, brain damage, and even death in some cases.
