Experienced Legal Help Following Anesthesiologist Mistakes
Aggressive, Service-Oriented New York Accident and Injury Lawyers Since 1950
Modern anesthesia typically involves one of two forms. Briefly, they are termed and practiced as follows:
- The first is often referred to as general anesthesia. With general anesthesia a paralytic agent is injected which stops the patient from breathing, and an endotracheal tube is passed down the throat into the lungs and provides oxygen for the patient. The patient is sedated for the operation.
- The second is regional anesthesia, which involves deadening localized nerve cells via a nerve block in spine. An epidural during child birth is a good example of regional anesthesia.
Both forms of anesthesia can lead to serious injuries or even death. For instance, we recently handled the following pain management cases:
- An epidural injection was placed in the wrong part of our client's spine, leading to permanent nerve damage, pain and urinary incontinence. We obtained a 2.3 million settlement which allowed our client to relocate and purchase a home.
