There are various causes of anesthesia mistakes that could lead to significant patient harm. These causes can include the following:
1) Improper dosages of anesthetic medications, which are often the result of inexperienced anesthesiologists, unfamiliarity with equipment, and carelessness.
2) Complications with anesthesia during pregnancy when a regional anesthetic is used. This can lead to injuries to a mother or a child.
3) Improper monitoring of a patient’s vital signs or IV fluid regulation while anesthesia is being administered.
