Whenever doctors have to perform an invasive procedure on you, they most likely will need to use a sedative or anesthesia – depending on how uncomfortable or painful the procedure would be without it. The anesthesiologist has to be precise in their measurement in order for the procedure to be successful – at least on their end. They are the first line of defense when it comes to your safety in the operating facility. Their main job is to make sure that you stay well sedated during your procedure, as well as monitor your vitals and make any adjustments that need to be made. When the anesthesiologist makes an error, it can cause major hard or worse, be fatal.

After losing a loved one, things can get very hectic and confusing. You need a team of legal professionals who are not just sharks in the courtroom, but caring and compassionate to their clients.

Dealing with Anesthesia

If you have a loved one who knows they have an invasive procedure coming up, they should speak with the doctor beforehand about what is going to happen before, during and after the procedure. Up until the day of the actual surgery or exam, constant contact and communication should be key. Ask as many questions until you have the peace of mind you are looking for.

Always be upfront with your doctor. Some drugs do not mix well with anesthesia. If your loved one has a habit, let the doctor know. The doctor is not there to judge your lifestyle. You do not want to be responsible for your own mishap during a procedure. A little embarrassment is better than sustaining a major injury – or worse, dying.

Prior to going to the hospital, follow the doctor’s instructions impeccably. If there is a food restriction past midnight, adhere to it. Sacrificing for a few hours could literally mean the difference between life and death. Do not contribute to your potential demise.
