Who would’ve thought that a patient going for dialysis every other day would wind up bleeding to death on his bathroom floor?

A woman returned from lunch one day, opened her front door and found blood spatter by the front door and continued every few feet into the house leading her directly to the bathroom toward the back of the house on the main floor. She never expected to find the gruesome scene before her.

She found her husband lying crumpled on the floor in the bathroom with blood all over the bathroom. Blood had shot up onto the ceiling, onto the walls, onto the floor, the mirror, the bandages and also the towels. Her husband was covered in a pool of blood.

When the police arrived, they thought the man had been murdered. Detectives determined however that this was not a crime scene. Instead, it was a case of a dialysis access, called a shunt, that had ruptured causing this man to lead to death within minutes.

An autopsy performed by the medical examiner of the city of New York revealed that there was a wound infection that caused his shunt to rupture. A shunt is a connection between the vein and the artery. If that opening is exposed, you will bleed out within minutes.

Our medical and surgical experts determined that the kidney dialysis center failed to timely recognize that this patient had a wound infection and failed to send the patient for immediate treatment. They failed to recognize that the shunt access was not intact which led to this man’s untimely death.
