Deficiencies in monitoring equipment and record-keeping helped get a Fort Lauderale OB-GYN office’s surgery license suspended by the Florida Department of Health.
The suspension of the license shared by Dr. Delisa Skeete Henry, MD, LLC, and Serene Health OB/GYN Health & Wellness, 1625 SE Third Ave., began Jan. 28 and should end Tuesday. Along with the suspension, the office was charged $3,440 in Department of Health case costs.
The online license entry says the office is licensed to do “surgery with moderate and conscious sedation.” Serene Health’s website says it offers vaginal rejuvenation.
According to the settlement agreement, officially, Skeete Henry neither admits nor denies the following accusations from a Nov. 28, 2023 inspection.
The office lacked an end tidal CO2 detection device. “ETCO2 monitors give continuous, real-time details about how a person is breathing,” University of Massachusetts Memorial Health says. “They analyze each breath you take. The devices can show if breathing becomes fast, slow, or shallow. They provide an early warning if you are starting to have trouble breathing. This lets doctors act quickly if any possible problems are found.”“The inspection found that the IV solution was expired.” This can affect the solution’s sterility.“The inspection found that multiple surgical logs were missing required information including but not limited to” diagnosis, medical clearances, type of surgery and how long the surgery took.
