$950,000 Recovery for a Medical Malpractice Case

PHILADELPHIA (March 2011) – $950,000 recovery for the family of a woman whose nasogastric suction tube was wrongly hooked up to her hospital room’s oxygen on a high liter flow. Plaintiff had an unrelated preexisting condition of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage for which she was hospitalized and underwent endovascular brain surgery with permanent brain injuries prior to the nasogastric tube issue.

The oxygen inflated her gastrointestinal system with air causing a perforation of her stomach and colon. As a result of this medical error, the woman was required to undergo surgical repair of her stomach and colon perforations. Due to the Defendants’ negligence, she was also required to undergo another surgical procedure to repair a hernia.
