Suing for an infiltrated IV

A woman’s peripheral IV infiltrated while giving birth:

Memorial Hospital of Belleville and a nurse are named in a medical malpractice lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she sustained IV infiltration while delivering a full term infant.

Trecia Lash alleges that on July 29, 2005, the hospital and nurse Debra Sakho failed to recognize her distress after she complained of severe pain at the intravenous infusion site in her left hand.
