Anesthesia Errors
There are few situations in life where we put our very survival completely in the hands of another person. Flying in airplanes is one example; a pilot carries the safety of all the passengers in his or her hands. The pilot’s mistakes or heroic feats may mean life or death for everyone on board. Another example of complete trust in another person is when we submit to surgery. During an operation, we put our lives in the hands of an anesthesiologist. Anesthesia is a delicate art and science, designed to keep oxygen levels and lung action working despite the sedation necessary to keep a patient from feeling pain under the knife.

Anesthesia errors can have devastating consequences such as permanent nerve damage. Incorrect intubation can cause lack of oxygen resulting in hypoxic brain injury, coma or death. If you suffered injury or your loved one lost his or her life due to an anesthesia error in Connecticut, our lawyers urge you to contact us at the New Haven law offices of Jacobs & Jacobs.

Your anesthesia error may simply mean that you will need a longer recovery time — or you may never be able to work again, or live the life you once led.

Call 866-668-7179 or e-mail our law firm to discuss your injuries or a loved one’s wrongful death due to medical malpractice. If you are unable to come to our office, we will come to your hospital room or home. We want to help you and your family through this.
