Airway and post-anesthesia event case review
The hours after anesthesia or procedural sedation are a known risk for breathing problems, especially with opioids, sleep apnea or obesity. A perioperative or critical care nurse reviews the monitoring in recovery and on the floor, how airway problems were recognized, and how quickly help arrived.

Questions attorneys ask
Does this overlap with failure to rescue?
Often. This page focuses on the period after anesthesia or sedation; failure to rescue covers missed deterioration more broadly.
Is an anesthesiologist needed too?
Usually, for the anesthesia care itself and causation. The nurse reviews the nursing monitoring and response.
