A surgical procedure always comes with some risks, and those risks don't disappear when the surgeon completes the operation. Post-surgery, a patient requires attentive care to ensure that they come out of anesthesia without complications and begin the healing process. Even a minor postoperative complication can lead to a major health problem in a patient who doesn't receive adequate care.

What to Know About Postoperative Care Malpractice Cases
When it comes to postoperative care malpractice, you may have questions as to whether your case may qualify. Our legal team will look at several key aspects of the care you or your loved one received while coming out of anesthesia and being cared for by the postoperative medical staff.
We have seen circumstances where these staff members failed to:
- Identify or treat postoperative infections
- Closely monitor oxygen levels and/or vital signs
- Respond to the signs of a stroke or cardiac arrest
- Diagnose or treat blood clots or internal bleeding
- Recognize an adverse reaction to the anesthesia used during the procedure
Postoperative care malpractice may also occur when a patient is prematurely discharged from the outpatient surgery center or hospital after having an operation.
Over the years, we have worked with many victims of medical malpractice, including those impacted by the effects of improper postoperative care. Through our experience, we have gained extensive knowledge of the medical industry, allowing us to evaluate cases and determine whether malpractice may have occurred.
Who Can Be Held Responsible for Postoperative Care Malpractice?
Anyone involved in the postoperative care process can be held responsible, including doctors, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and medical technicians. When reviewing your case, our team of legal experts will analyze your medical records to determine who was ultimately responsible for the negative outcome. Our team includes nurses and a board-certified physician who are intimately familiar with the reasonable standard of care for medical professionals.
