Anesthesiology Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts anesthesiology expert witness services.

What is anesthesia awareness and how common is it?

Anesthesia awareness occurs when a patient becomes conscious during surgery while paralyzed. Reliable Clinical Experts anesthesiologists testify that while rare (approximately 1-2 per 1,000 cases), awareness causes severe psychological trauma. Cases typically involve equipment malfunction, inadequate dosing, or failure to monitor anesthetic depth using BIS monitoring.

What monitoring is required during anesthesia?

The American Society of Anesthesiologists requires continuous monitoring of oxygenation, ventilation, circulation, and temperature during all anesthetics. Reliable Clinical Experts anesthesiologists evaluate pulse oximetry, capnography, blood pressure, ECG, and temperature monitoring compliance. Failure to monitor or respond to abnormal values is a primary basis for malpractice claims.
