In Estate of Travaglini v. Ingalls Health (2009), an 84-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with general complaints of "not feeling well." At the time of his admission, the physician told the admitting nurse that the patient had dysphagia and must be observed whenever he was eating or trying to swallow liquids. At 10:00 that evening, an aide came to the patient's room and left a sandwich for him to eat. Shortly afterward, the patient's roommate heard the patient choking and summoned help.
At autopsy, it was confirmed that he had aspirated the turkey sandwich, and that this was the cause of the cardiopulmonary arrest that killed the patient. Though liability was found against the aide and her supervisor, the court also upheld a verdict of $500,000 against the hospital.
