Cardiovascular events make up some of the most dangerous and time-sensitive conditions that get treated in the emergency room and hospital at large. For this reason, they make up a significant proportion of malpractice suits concerning cardiac care

An LNC needs to be deeply familiar with all aspects of cardiovascular and treatment. She or he must know what results are unavoidable and which are preventable. Here to explain some of the most critical elements of cardiovascular care is Lailen Baua, an LNC with broad experience in many aspects of clinical care.

Time is a critical factor. In some cases, delays are beyond a hospital team’s control, such as those caused by distance from a well-equipped hospital or traffic delays. Lailan says that ideally it should be no more than two hours before a cardiovascular patient is receiving appropriate treatment, such as a balloon angioplasty. Errors in the administration of these procedures can also be potential sources for malpractice.

Misdiagnosis is also a factor in disability and death from a cardiac event. Too many people are diagnosed with a digestive issue and sent home, where they have heart attacks.

Lailen’s explanations and descriptions will help to guide you in analyzing a cardiovascular case. Be sure to take the opportunity to review this valuable podcast.
