A Certified Registered Nurse Anestheticist (CRNA) was left alone to bring the female patient out of anaesthesia after the orthopaedic surgeon completed a hip replacement surgery. She decided to give the patient a unit of antilogous blood to replace some that was lost during surgery, but did not have a blood warmer in the operating room. So she directed the circulating nurse to take a unit of whole blood to the microwave in the employee's lounge and microwave it for 3 minutes. Unfortunately, microwaving blood ruptures the red cell membrane and releases serum potassium into the solution. Serum potassium is the last injection given to death row inmates sentenced to die by lethal injection. It irreversibly stops the heart. When the CRNA administered the microwave blood, the patient immediately arrested on the table and could not be revived. There was a wrongful death lawsuit. Do you think telling the patient's family about this mistake could have prevented the lawsuit? What do you think is the right thing to be done in such a case?
