Anaesthetic Errors

Undergoing surgery is a worrying experience as we put our lives in the hands of the Anaesthetist and Surgeons. Unfortunately, problems can occur with the anaesthesia and anaesthetic errors can be made. Nerve injuries can be caused when the anaesthesia is injected and damage to teeth can occur during the intubation for the anaesthesia. If an Anaesthetist fails to manage the patient correctly during the operation, the patient could be awake and feel the operation being carried out without being able to alert the surgeons.

If you have suffered any illness during or after having required anaesthesia, then you may have a claim for clinical negligence and our specialist team of Solicitors will be able to assist you with a claim.

Our Client underwent an operation on his back. When he awoke from the anaesthetic he realised that one of his front teeth was missing. The tooth had been knocked out by the anaesthetist during the operation. The doctors were unable to locate the tooth and it was unclear whether our Client had swallowed the tooth during the operation or not.

As a result of losing his tooth, our Client was unable to eat properly and suffered with pain where his tooth was knocked out and had to have a denture fitted . He received £1,500 compensation.
