@the.legal.np: Labor and delivery can change in minutes. That’s why the fetal strip, Pitocin record, nursing notes, and calls to the physician all have to tell the same story. In this Texas case, the parents’ expert alleged that serious changes appeared on the fetal tracing while Pitocin continued, and that the nursing chart did not accurately capture what the tracing showed. The nurse did contact the physician; the dispute included what was communicated and documented. The appellate opinions discuss those allegations and the adequacy of an expert report. They did not decide that the nurse or physician was negligent. For L&D nurses, the lesson is practical: chart the tracing you see, the intervention you take, the patient’s response, and exactly what you communicate and escalate. In litigation, those entries become a minute-by-minute timeline. Case: Texas Health Care, P.L.L.C. v. E.D., No. 02-18-00300-CV. #medicalmalpractice #legalnp #laboranddelivery #obgyn #labornurse

Great information. Just as an FYI, there’s at least one slide at about 2:13, point E where the nurse’s name wasn’t redacted

I worked as a unit coordinator on L&D for approximately slightly less than 2 years. Not clinical, just admin. I knew the basics of reading a strip within a couple months on the job just from pattern recognition. I would have known that a flat line followed by 3 deep decels indicated a medical emergency. There is no excuse in the world why a L&D nurse would not recognize the fetal distress.

When did the anesthesiologist/CRNA called in? Or were they in house? Also, what type of anesthetic was used? Seems like the nurses let the ball drop in not reporting appropriately and continuing to increase the pitocin in light of the distress on the monitors.
