Common Causes of Anesthesia Errors

When a person undergoes a surgical procedure, there is always risk, not simply from the procedure but from the administered anesthesia. An anesthesiologist is responsible for more than simply administering anesthesia in the operating room. They are responsible for maintaining precise levels of consciousness throughout the surgical procedure, as well as monitoring and supporting the patient's cardiopulmonary function. Common causes of anesthesia error during surgical procedures include:

Overdose or underdose of anesthesia
Delayed delivery of anesthesia
Failure to avoid an allergic reaction if it could have reasonably been prevented
Drug interactions complications
Failure to properly administer oxygen during surgical procedure
Failure to properly monitor the patient
Use of defective medical equipment during sedation
