Clogged breathing tubes, like choking, by depriving oxygen to the brain, can cause brain damage, and even death.
While such an injury may appear to be accidental, nursing homes can be held accountable. If the choking occurred because the patient was not properly monitored and this led to a clogged breathing tube, it is the fault of the nursing home, and your loved one may have a nursing home abuse case.
