Nursing homes are supposed to keep breathing tubes clean and in working order for those residents who require devices to assist with their breathing. This requires additional monitoring of the resident. Failure to monitor or maintain the breathing tube may result in a clog that impedes the resident's breathing. When this happens, the brain is deprived of oxygen and severe injuries may occur, including death.
