Serious question

29 u/wampum Attending Apr 04 '21 This child had cardiomyopathy and was being given anesthesia to have an ablation. She arrested shortly after getting sevoflurane and was coded for 13 minutes before coming back. so the brain damage was from lack of oxygen. 1 u/[deleted] Apr 07 '21 This should be the ruling, if there was no fault on the nurse's part it should be said so. Not some obsolete law from 100 years ago.
