Was wondering if anyone knows of any case law concerning a failure to act malpractice suit regarding delay of care in regard to ACLS. I work at a facility, in the MICU (as a traveler), that encourages RN's to call the MD before acting in emergency situations. I have encountered situations where even a 30-60 second delay to call the MD, rather than just giving the ACLS meds I'm trained to deliver, can cause patient harm or even death. I am a traveler, so I want to follow the facility's policy, but if I failed to act to the highest level of my training and it was challenged in court, I'm afraid I could be held libel. I have heard of cases such as this, but would like to have some specific case law to provide to my travel company. Any help in locating articles or similar case law would be helpful. David
