CT Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Many surgical patients find it upsetting to learn that the anesthesiologist, the M.D. who specializes in anesthesia, doesn't stay in the operating room after the patient is unconscious. It is common practice for the anesthesiologist to leave the patient in the hands of an often overworked nurse anesthetist.
The nurse anesthetist, not the surgeon, is responsible for monitoring the patient with regard to anesthesia during surgery. In the majority of cases, this arrangement works well. However, when complications arise and a medical decision needs to be made quickly, there often isn't time to locate the anesthesiologist to make the call. Seconds spent finding the doctor and getting him or her back on the case can mean the difference between life and death.
