Anesthesia is administered during surgery or diagnostic procedures and works by blocking the pain signal to the brain. There are many errors that occur when anesthesia is administered, including:

Administering too much anesthesia. Anesthesia overdose can lead to serious injuries including: brain damage, coma, organ damage, heart attack, stroke and even death.
Administering too little anesthesia. Anesthesia underdose can lead to the patient waking up (“anesthesia awareness”) in the middle of the surgery or procedure. Patients in this situation are often unable to verbalize what is happening to the physicians because they are physically paralyzed. The experience can lead to excessive pain, remembering the surgery and lasting physical and psychological problems.
Administering a type of anesthesia to which the patient is allergic or which has a known reaction to another medication the patient is on.
Failure to monitor a patient under anesthesia to recognize changes in vital signs or blood oxygen levels.
Keeping a patient under anesthesia for too long.
