    From the handover received from neonatal registrar, it can be assumed that baby Amira is in respiratory distress. Amira is currently receiving 30% flow-by oxygen at 10 minutes old to maintain oxygen saturation (Sa02) levels of 92%. Although the target Sa02 level at 10 minutes old is between 85-90% (Department of Health and Human Services, 2014) the fact that Amira is still displaying signs of nasal flaring and moderate work of breathing despite receiving flow-by oxygen is concerning. After conducting a brief initial top to toe assessment, weight and length, Amira should be transferred to an incubator for further vital signs, monitoring and observation of her breathing. Amira’s temperature of 35.9°C is also classified as moderately…

    It troubled him that the Judge Teel described Nancy’s condition as “unresponsive and hopeless” with “no cognitive purpose for her except sound and perhaps pain.” If Nancy feels pain then she is not in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). We did not know what was going on behind the scenes, but later it would all come to light. Our case bypassed the appellate court of Missouri and headed straight to the Missouri Supreme Court, with a little assistance. Our case was scheduled for review in September, along with a case that has opposite opinions as ours. In other words, the parents of a young man named Phillip Radar, that was diagnosed as being brain dead, did not want to let their child go, but the hospital caring for him did. Phillip’s heart was beating even though he was brain dead. Both of the cases were scheduled to be heard on the same morning in September, but on August 31st Phillip’s heart stopped and the effort to revive him was unsuccessful. His death left our case as the only one to be…

    For the Roosevelt Dawson case, Dawson a young man who suffered from a viral infection that affected his spine, caused inability to move his limbs and breathing. What we need to keep in mind is that he is not suffering from any severe, untreatable pain or a terminal illness or disease. Also that he is about twenty-one years old. Based on past cases in this hospital, the hospital board has granted patient's (or whoever was put as the guardian) assistance for breathing and or nourishment. Looking at the patient's competency does not apply to this case, at least in my opinion.…

    The advantage of a living will is the relinquishment of the burden to take someone’s life. A living will gives the instruction as to when to continue to fight for life, or when to let it go. Some people want everything possible to be done to keep them alive as long as possible. More informed individuals who understand there are circumstances where there is no hope for recovery will direct that they do not wish to be kept alive through artificial measures. This includes not only a ventilator, but also feeding tubes. Because the part of your brain that controls breathing is in the brainstem away from the part of your brain that makes you conscious and alert, a person can continue breathing and their heart will continue to pump, but their cognitive function can be dead. In this instance, they are no longer going to recuperate. An…

    At first June agreed to the feeding tube but then she became even more ill and didn’t want the tube. The patient bill of rights applies because June has the right to know what treatment options are available to her and what the outcome of all of them will be. The patient has the right to decide his or her own medical care. She also has the right to know about all side effects. June needs to be told what her chances are of living if she does not take the feeding tube like she planned before she became even sicker. June has the right to have her health information kept confidential while only given certain people the right to know her information.
