Cleveland Anesthesia Errors Lawyer
Ohio Anesthesia Death Attorney
Helping Victims of Anesthesia Error
Anesthesia is powerful medicine that can cause life-altering injury or death if not used properly.
The medical malpractice attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, represent patients who have been harmed by anesthesia errors. We seek compensation on behalf of those who have needlessly suffered serious, permanent harm because of an anesthesia-related mistake as well as for the survivors of those who died a wrongful death due to negligence.
Who Is Watching the Patient?
An anesthesiologist is a medical specialist trained specifically in the administration of anesthesia to surgical patients and the management of patients under anesthesia. Anesthesiologists are typically present when a patient is placed under general anesthetic, but do not remain with the patient throughout the operation. A nurse anesthetist monitors the patient and alerts the anesthesiologist if signs of trouble appear. The nurse anesthetist may fail to contact the anesthesiologist in time or the anesthesiologist may not be able to respond appropriately or in a timely manner.
Our law firm represents clients in cases involving a broad range of anesthesia errors, including:
- Improper dosage — administering too much or not enough anesthetic
- Failure to monitor the patient
- Improper intubation
- Communication errors among medical personnel and the patient
If you or a member of your family has been harmed by anesthesia-related malpractice, it is important to discuss your concerns with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer.
