Anaesthesia Errors Or Negligence

Anaesthesia should protect you from pain and trauma during surgery. But when it’s done wrong, when someone cuts corners, gets it wrong, or flat-out ignores red flags, the results can be catastrophic.

At Marley Solicitors, we help victims of anaesthetic negligence claim compensation and accountability. We don’t play games. We fight to win.

What are anaesthesia errors?

Anaesthesia errors happen when anaesthetists or medical staff fail to properly manage, administer, or monitor anaesthetic drugs during surgery or procedures.

These aren’t minor oversights. We’re talking about:

• Giving the wrong dose
• Failing to monitor oxygen or heart rate
• Delaying anaesthetic during emergency procedures
• Inadequate pre-op checks (e.g. allergies, medical history)
• Leaving patients conscious or aware during surgery (anaesthesia awareness)
• Negligent intubation causing brain damage or death

The real-world consequences

When anaesthetic mistakes happen, the fallout can be extreme:

• Permanent nerve damage
• Brain injury due to lack of oxygen
• Paralysis or stroke
• Post-operative trauma or PTSD
• Death

If any of this sounds familiar, you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim.

Do I have a case?

If your injury, trauma, or a loved one’s death was caused by poor anaesthetic care, you may be entitled to compensation. We’ll cut through the legal fog and tell you straight if you’ve got a case.

Ask yourself:

• Were you injured or traumatised due to an anaesthetic mistake?
• Were risks never explained to you?
• Did you wake up during surgery?
• Was there a delay or error during sedation?
• Has your condition worsened after a routine procedure?

If yes, it’s time to talk.
