Risk Management



Anesthesia Liability

Retina specialist Dr. Michael Morley, anesthesiologist Dr. Karen Nanji, and OMIC Patient Safety Manager Anne Menke conducted a study of OMIC ophthalmic anesthesia claims from 2008 to 2018 that was published in the July 2020 issue of Ophthalmology.[1] Part 1 of this article presents some of the data from our study. Part 2 provides risk management recommendations and answers questions about liability for anesthesia care. OMIC hopes Anesthesia Liability contributes to the ongoing safety of ophthalmic anesthesia.
