Anesthesia is one of the greatest advances in modern medicine, allowing patients to undergo surgeries without pain or awareness. But anesthesia is also extremely dangerous when not managed properly. An error in dosage, monitoring, or airway management can lead to oxygen deprivation and permanent brain damage.

For Arizona families, an anesthesia error brain injury lawyer can be the difference between unanswered questions and justice.

For example: if a patient’s oxygen saturation dropped for 10 minutes during surgery and the anesthesiologist failed to intervene, liability may be clear.
