Edith Holmes, Administratrix of the Estate of Arnold Holmes v. Hartford Hospital: The state Appellate Court recently upheld a defense verdict in a lawsuit filed after a patient died of cardiac arrest in Hartford Hospital and none of the nurses noticed for about 20 minutes.
The jurors ultimately decided that the nurses did not breach the standard of care owed to the patient, accepting the hospital’s argument that the patient was moved to an unmonitored room only after his vital signs had been checked following surgery.
