A doctor in Dallas is at the center of an investigation into tainted IV bags and has been charged with tampering with a consumer product causing one death and 10 cardiac emergencies.
The criminal complaint does not identify either surgical center involved but Baylor Scott & White previously announced it had notified law enforcement about “compromised” IV bags at Surgicare North Dallas on Coit Road.Co-workers told investigators Ortiz “expressed his unhappiness” with being disciplined and told another doctor that he felt administrators were trying to “crucify” him, according to the criminal complaint.
Ortiz failed to"maintain the patient's airway" and failed to"document critical aspects" of the incident, the complaint said. Hospital staff members concluded there were 10 suspicious incidents since May linked to possibly tainted IVs where “patients experienced unexpected cardiovascular complications during otherwise unremarkable surgeries,” according to the complaint.
