Medical Malpractice Resulting in Death: Poor Post Operative Care

Settlement: $ 250,000

Our client’s husband underwent re-do coronary artery by-pass surgery. In the post-operative period he breathing tube became dislodged while in the intensive care unit. He thereafter rapidly went downhill, resulting in his death. The firm’s medical experts were prepared to testify in trial that the patient was in need of greater supervision, and that there were clinical signs that required the nursing staff to call a physician before the breathing tube was dislodged.
