NY Hospital Sued After Woman Claims Exposure To HIV
From NYDailyNews.com:
A Manhattan woman says she got the scare of her life when a hospital snafu during a routine procedure exposed her to dirty equipment carrying the HIV virus.
Milvia Lopez claims in a lawsuit that she was given an echocardiogram with an unsterilized scope at St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan in June 2007.
“Based on patient privacy laws, we cannot comment on the lawsuit at this time,” said Michael Fagan, vice president of government relations at St. Vincent’s.
According to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, several hours after Lopez was discharged from the hospital, she received an urgent phone call asking her to return.
St. Vincent’s even sent a limo to pick her up, the suit claims.
When Lopez returned to the hospital, she was told that nonsterile equipment had been used in her procedure and that she had been exposed to HIV as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Lopez, of Washington Heights, was immediately prescribed medicine to treat her exposure to HIV, along with some antibiotics to fight other bacteria.
She was then instructed to monitor her blood for infection.

“What to expect during an echocardiogram procedure:
Before the echocardiogram test, a cardiac sonographer (an allied health professional who has been trained specifically to perform ultrasound examinations), nurse or physician will explain the procedure in detail, including possible complications and side effects. They will be available to answer any questions you may have. You will be given a gown to wear for your echocardiography procedure. You will be asked to remove your clothing from the waist up. A cardiac sonographer will place three electrodes (small, flat, sticky patches) on your chest. The electrodes are attached to an electrocardiograph monitor (ECG) that charts your heart’s electrical activity.The sonographer will ask you to lie on your left side on an exam table. The sonographer will place a wand (called a sound-wave transducer) on several areas of your chest. The wand will have a small amount of cool gel on the end, which will not harm your skin. This gel helps get clearer pictures. Sounds are part of the Doppler signal. You may or may not hear the sounds during the test. You may be asked to change positions during the exam in order to take pictures of different areas of your heart. You may be asked to hold your breath at times. You should feel no major discomfort during the test. You may feel coolness from the gel on the transducer and a slight pressure of the transducer on your chest.The echo test takes about 40 minutes. After the echocardiogram test, you may get dressed and go home or go to your other scheduled appointments.
After the cardiologist reviews your test, the results will go into your electronic medical record. Your physician will have access to the results and will discuss them with you.”
