Hospital Responsible for Failing to Notice that Patient's Ventilator Tube was Disconnected

(520) 790-5600

We were able to obtain a confidential settlement for the wife and family of a patient who underwent bypass surgery, and was in the recovery process. While the patient was recovering, the nurses failed to notice the alarms that signaled that the patient had become disconnected from his ventilator. The patient suffered brain injury and died two days later.
