A medical perspective
Understanding the demands of anesthesia care.
Dr. Zaheer Shah understands the complexity of the work performed by anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists. He brings that medical perspective to reviewing concerns about injuries associated with anesthesia.
We examine the available information about the procedure and listen to what happened during recovery. The focus is on the care delivered and whether a failure in that care caused harm.
Concerns we review
Medication, monitoring, and communication.
Medication and dosage
Questions may involve the drug selected, the amount administered, or the combination of medications used.
Monitoring and response
Concerns can involve how the patient was monitored, including oxygen levels and delivery, and how changes were addressed.
Assessment and discussion of risks
The review may also consider the patient’s medical information and what was communicated about the proposed anesthesia and its risks.
The medical evidence
Following the care from preparation to recovery.
Before and during the procedure
The assessment, anesthesia record, and procedure notes help show the plan, the medications given, and the monitoring performed.
Recovery and later treatment
Recovery records and subsequent medical findings help explain when a problem became apparent and how it affected the patient.
A complication does not automatically establish malpractice. A claim requires evidence that care fell below the applicable standard and caused injury.
Arizona law: A.R.S. § 12-563.
