Local Law Firms Home > Medical Malpractice Overview > Brain Injuries > Failure to Maintain Proper Blood Pressure When a patient undergoes any type of surgery, there are so many little things that can go wrong that can result in serious damage to the patient. If a surgeon, nurse, or anesthesiologist makes any type of error, the results can be catastrophic. When a patient’s blood pressure is not properly maintained during an operation, for instance, the brain may suffer from oxygen deprivation. When the brain does not receive the proper amount of oxygen, brain damage can result. Brain damage from this type of error can result in lifelong disability or death. Our medical malpractice lawyers assist clients with a variety of medical malpractice cases, including but not limited to the following:
