Bautista v. Foothill Presbyterian Hospital

VERDICT

Trial
04/12/24 – 05/06/24

Summary

In this medical malpractice trial, Matthew Bautista-Lopez suffered a brain injury during birth. Records show that during birth, the child was determined to be in “fetal distress,” which led to providers requesting a Cesarean section. The delay between the request and the execution, allegedly, caused the hypoxic injury.

Representatives for plaintiff Lopez-Bautista claim that this request for a Cesarean section should have been executed more quickly. This delay goes against hospital policy to commence the operation half an hour after request.

Defendant Emanate Foothill Presbyterian Hospital claims that Lopez-Bautista suffered his injuries before arriving at the hospital. They point to heart rate monitors, which did not show any distress during this period, along with the surgeons requesting a standard C-section, rather than the emergency version that would require the half-hour deadline.

Outcome

Verdict for defendant.
