A tragedy all around.

According to multiple sources, the colonoscopy patient weighed about 300 pounds and had obstructive sleep apnea. Due to the patient’s weight, a decision was made to intubate him, which was handled by the CRNA from Beaumont Dearborn.

When the breathing tube was removed, the patient began to thrash around and then stopped breathing. The visiting NorthStar anesthesiologist was called and worked with the CRNA to reintubate the patient. When that procedure failed, they called for an emergency team to revive the patient. By then, he’d been without a pulse for 30 minutes. The team arrived too late.
