    Report summary

    Beryl Margaret Elizabeth Goode fell while trying to use a commode, later became confused, and was subsequently found on the floor with an obvious head injury. She was taken to hospital and died on 2 May 2017. The principal concerns were that staff did not consider head injury as a possible cause of her confusion and lacked training to identify or exclude it, including when a resident denied injury.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of night shift staff to consider and exclude possible head injury in residents with confusion

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) At no point did the night shift staff consider that a head injury could have been the cause of the deceased’s confusion. (2) It is accepted that the night shift are not medically trained. However, that makes it all the more important that they are aware of the possibility of a head injury to the residents, even in circumstances where the resident denies an injury. (3) It is also accepted that the deceased may not actually have had a head injury from the first fall. Nevertheless, without training, the staff were not able to exclude a head injury. (4) It is also accepted that calling the emergency services some 2 hours earlier would not have prevented her death if she had sustained a head injury in the first fall. However, in certain scenarios, residents in the future may have their lives saved if head injury is considered as a possible diagnosis. ”
