Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.The death of a 4-month-old baby at Mount Sinai Hospital during this month’sis under internal review – and sources blame untrained fill-in nurses, overwhelmed doctors and executives who failed to prepare for the walkout.
“These babies can get very sick very quickly … That’s why subtle things you see are important to report, and highly trained NICU nurses do that,” a source who worked in the NICU during the strike said. The internal review of the baby’s death could be escalated to the city’s medical examiner and the state Department of Health, though a DOH spokesperson would not comment on any potential active investigations.
“They put nurses in there who had zero NICU experience,” said another source who was in the NICU during the strike.“Parents felt like they couldn’t leave their child’s bedside during the strike,” the source said. Experts say highly-specialized nurses are crucial in a level IV NICU, where babies require constant attention and undergo complex procedures like open heart surgery or connecting the infant to an artificial lung outside the body.
During the strike, Mount Sinai spokesperson Lucia Lee told Gothamist that the NICU was “appropriately staffed” with 17 nurses. Lee did not later respond on the record to detailed inquiries about the baby’s death.
