Negligence in Fetal Heart Beat Monitoring: Emergency C-Section and the “Golden 30 Minutes”— Revisiting Medical Negligence and Causation
本件孕婦至醫院第一次就診後，依急診醫師醫囑返家，於同日復至醫院第二次就診，並於翌日經醫師實施剖腹產娩出胎兒，該胎兒之後經診斷為嬰兒腦性麻痺。本件第一次就診時急診醫師未予留院觀察之不作為、第二次就診時醫師未依黃金30分鐘實施剖腹產之不作為，不僅涉及醫療法第82條第2、4項「注意義務之違反及臨床專業裁量範圍」之具體適用，亦涉及「間接充分性法益侵害事件」就責任成立因果關係「相當性」之審查。本文於「壹」先簡介本件事實，於「貳」說明更審判決及最高法院第二次廢棄發回判決理由，「參」先釐清民事法與醫療法之過失概念、過失之類型化標準，再探討責任成立相當因果關係之細緻化操作。繼而於「肆」評析本件更審判決及最高法院第二次廢棄發回判決，最後於「伍」作結。
This case involves a pregnant woman who was discharged after her first emergency visit, returned to the hospital later the same day, and underwent a cesarean section the following day. The newborn was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The alleged omissions—failure to admit the patient for observation and failure to perform a cesarean section within the “golden 30 minutes”—raise issues under Articles 82(2) and 82(4) of the Medical Care Act regarding the duty of care, clinical discretion, and causation in indirect risk-realization cases. This article analyzes the appellate and Supreme Court remand decisions and evaluates their reasoning.
