When patients undergo surgical procedures, they are administered local, regional, or general anesthesia to reduce pain. Anesthetic drugs are generally administered by anesthesiologists — physicians who have specialized training in administering anesthetics and managing pain. As the administration of anesthesia is a delicate procedure, nurses and anesthesiologists must exercise great skill and attention. Anesthesia errors brought about by the negligence of anesthesia providers can result in severe and life-threatening injuries.
