1 FAILURE TO MONITOR FETUS LEADS TO $1M SETTLEMENT An
obstetrician who proceeded to let his patient deliver her baby vaginally after a partial failure of the fetal monitoring devices, only to see the baby born with evidence of severe oxygen deprivation and permanent neurological problems, will pay the child his full malpractice insurance limit of $1 million in settlement of Krikheli v. Skorenko. The electrodes monitoring Rachel Krikheli's fetus began to show disturbing signs of the fetus's condition soon after Dr. Kenneth Skorenko arrived to oversee her delivery at Monmouth Medical Center in May 2001 but then became completely uninterpretable. Skorenko did not follow the normal practice of applying a new electrode to the fetal scalp to learn more but went ahead immediately with delivery, justified, his attorneys argued, by the rapidity of labor and some partial but reassuring signs from the monitoring equipment. However, the newborn immediately showed signs of difficulty, which eventually solidified into spastic quadriplegia, delays in development and other problems that will prevent her from ever living independently and will probably shorten her life. The parties arrived at their settlement before trial began before Monmouth County Judge Mark A. Sullivan. John J. Ratkowitz and Amos Gern of Starr Gern Davison & Rubin in Roseland represented the Krikheli family. Source: NJL Daily Briefing - 09/26/2008 5. Upcoming community events.
