Additional Information

Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant (CAA) providing independent, objective expert analysis in anesthesia-related medical malpractice and professional liability matters. I assist attorneys with case screening, medical record review, and standard-of-care analysis involving perioperative anesthesia care across a range of clinical environments, including high-acuity tertiary and academic medical centers. My expert review commonly addresses allegations involving: • Anesthesia standard of care (general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, MAC) • Airway management failures, hypoxia, and perioperative respiratory events • Intraoperative monitoring, physiologic trends, and timely clinical response • Preoperative evaluation, risk stratification, and anesthetic planning • Anesthesia care team supervision, delegation, and communication breakdowns • Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) management and recovery-phase complications • Anesthesia documentation accuracy, completeness, and anesthesia record analysis • Compliance with institutional policies, ASA guidelines, and accepted best practices
