Confidential Settlement - Amputation of Child’s Fingers Following Placement of Catheter

C.J. was a five-year-old child who was admitted to his local hospital for abdominal surgery. Following surgery, an arterial catheter was placed in his axillary artery (near his armpit) in order to obtain frequent blood draws. That catheter eventually caused blood clots, which traveled to C.J.'s fingers. C.J.'s mom noticed that his fingers were changing colors. The hospital discounted her observation. C.J. ultimately had to have all of his fingers on one hand amputated. A confidential settlement was reached with the physician who placed the catheter and with the hospital.
