Case over Ingrida Grigaliunaite’s death alleged there was a failure to carry out scan to identify seriousness of head trauma
Ingrida Grigaliunaite had been out with colleagues on the evening of November 11th, 2015, when she fell and hit her head at Pearse Street Dart station.
Writing on behalf of herself and the Dublin hospital, St James’s CEO Mary Day, apologised “unreservedly” for failings in its care and treatment, adding: “We are truly sorry for the pain and distress caused to you.” The case alleged she was brought by ambulance to St James’s and, upon her arrival at 11.40pm, was triaged by a nurse as “category three″, which meant she should have been seen within one hour. It claimed her verbal response was recorded as being confused and she scored within the mild traumatic brain injury realm on the Glasgow Coma Scale, which measures losses of consciousness.When checked for the fourth time at 4am, the case alleged, her respiratory rate slowed and her pupils were unreactive.
The family claimed they suffered mental distress and upset due to the premature death of Ms Grigaliunaite.
