1 ASA Closed Claims Project: Regional Anesthesia Claims 1990 or later Lorri A. Lee MD Department of Anesthesiology, Seattle, WA
2 OVERVIEW 1. Closed Claims Project 2. Peripheral Nerve Blocks 3. Neuraxial Claims
3 ASA Closed Claims Project 35 insurance organizations since companies in current active panel 13,000+ anesthesiologists insured by current panel of companies
4 On Site Anesthesiologist Reviewer Within 5 years of practicing Non-dental injury claims Adequate records to recreate scenario Assessment of anesthetic related injury Assessment of SOC Severity of Injury Scale of No Injury (0) to Death (9)
5 Claims sent to Reviewed by 2 anesthesiologists Tie breaker resolved by 3 rd anesthesiologist Entered into CCP Database Topics selected, analyzed, updated
6 Utility of Closed Claims Data Collection of Sentinel Events Identify areas of recurrent risk Provide direction for in-depth analysis Snapshot of anesthesia liability
7 Bias with Malpractice Claims No denominator for calculating risk Small subset of injuries More severe, permanent injuries More substandard anesthesia care
8 COMPLICATIONS OF REGIONAL ANESTHESIA Neuraxial cardiac arrest High block Unintentional intravenous injection Hematoma, abscess, meningitis Needle trauma: Paresthesia, weakness, paralysis Blindness Post-dural puncture headache Complications of sedation Inadequate analgesia, injection site pain Miscellaneous

27 CASE PRESENTATION A 60 year old ASA 2 male w/ htn Humerus fx under ISB w/ nerve stimulator After the injection of 40ml of bupivacaine in divided doses, the patient had a seizure. The patient complained SOB prior to the seizure. A resident aspirated during the injection. GA immediately induced. No postop problems in the hospital record. 3 yrs later: suit for brain damage - memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. Neurologists had conflicting views as to the extent and cause. The case went to trial and the jury awarded $3M. The judge reduced it to $1.5 million and the anesthesiologist settled for $950,000.
