When an individual is scheduled to have surgery, there is a team of doctors and staff that are responsible for patient care before, during, and after the procedure. A key member of the team with a critical role is the anesthesiologist. It is the anesthesiologist’s duty to assess and provide the proper level of anesthesia to the patient and monitor vital signs throughout the surgery.
However, NY Anesthesia Malpractice Attorneys have seen many cases where patients in New York City hospitals suffered additional injury or even death due to mistakes made by the anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists who are negligent in their care of the patient have committed anesthesia malpractice, and patients or loved ones who have suffered as a result have a right to sue for justice and deserved compensation.
