St Lukes Hospital Anesthesia Error Claims

A drug that is used to assist medical professional during procedures by putting patients in a reversible state of amnesia can also cause patients serious injuries if there are any errors while administering the drug.

Anesthesia is given to a patient before a medical procedure to take away their muscle reflexes in order for the surgeon to conduct the procedure. The patient has a decreased stress response and is unconscious so they cannot feel what is going on.

Potential Side Effects

Although used in medical procedures that are meant to make an individual healthier, amnesia can result in various injuries. These effects could be due to the medical negligence of a professional, and if that is the case, the victim has a right to file an anesthesia error claim.
Anesthesia injuries:

  • Injury to tongue, lips, and teeth
  • Brain damage
  • Vocal chord damage
  • Elevated body temperature
  • Other abnormal reactions
