Case Details
Matthew Dudley and Marisa Schostok represented a 14-year old girl who suffered from a lack of oxygen while in the emergency department of a hospital, resulting in permanent and irreversible brain damage. The hospital’s nurses removed her supplemental oxygen, pulse oximetry monitor and failed to protect her airway. Due to the lack of supplemental oxygen, monitoring device and airway protection, the girl was left alone, without oxygen, for over twenty minutes. As a result, she suffered cardiac arrest and permanent brain damage. Due to her catastrophic injuries, the girl now requires 24-hour nursing care for the rest of her life.
