Anesthesia Error Claims
General anesthesia, dental anesthesia, topical anesthesia and epidural anesthesia require careful monitoring of the patient’s vital signs and oxygenation. When physicians or anesthesiologists fail to prescribe the correct dosage, protect against possible reactions, question the patient carefully on other medications they may be taking, or carefully monitor the patient’s condition during anesthesia, the result can be significant illness, severe brain damage or even death. When this occurs, you need the best medical malpractice lawyers in Philadelphia on your side.
