Doctors have a duty to avoid harming their patients. They are expected to exercise due diligence in diagnosing and treating their patients. This means that they must make informed decisions when treating a patient and monitor them so that they can act quickly if complications arise. Unfortunately, in some cases, doctors cause harm by failing to adequately monitor their patients. Inadequate monitoring in certain situations can lead to very serious consequences, including death.

To avoid causing a patient harm, doctors are obliged to monitor their patients in a wide range of circumstances, such as before, during, and after any treatment, medical procedures, or prescription of certain medications.
For example, if certain medications are prescribed, the patient must be monitored to make sure that they have no adverse reactions. And, if the patient undergoes a medical procedure like surgery, they must be monitored to ensure that there are no complications from the procedure such as anesthesia errors. Whatever the cause of your injury, our anesthesia error lawyers and medication error attorneys in Philadelphia are ready to take on your case.
When a doctor or health facility fails to keep track of a patient’s health and the effect of the treatment they receive, this is known as inadequate monitoring or failure to monitor. If a doctor or health facility fails to monitor a patient in a way that fell below the standard of care required for that patient, their actions may give rise to a medical malpractice case.
The consequences of inadequate monitoring can be minor but extend through serious injuries and even death. Some serious consequences of inadequate monitoring are:
