• Wrong site: Did the surgeon perform the right procedure on the wrong body part?
• Anesthesia errors : Dosage errors, delay in delivery, mistakes in intubation, failure to monitor the patient and failure to recognize complications can all be deadly.
• Unsterile equipment: Infections due to unsterilized equipment put patients at risk.
• Lacerations and punctures: Nicks or punctures to organs, muscles, nerves or other internal structures may not be noticed until it is too late.
• Instruments and sponges left behind : Hospital policies call for counting surgical instruments before and after the procedure, but mistakes still happen. These mistakes can lead to serious infection and death
• Post-surgical errors: When complications are not recognized or treated in a timely way, the results can be extremely dangerous for patients.
