Your Residue expression is unevaluated (Residue appears in output) since you 
left out part of the Residue syntax. However, your argument was evaluated to 
ComplexInfinity so z must already have had a value.

Clear[z];
FullSimplify[
  Residue[(I*z)/(1-(2+4*a)*z^2+z^4),
    {z,Sqrt[a+1]-Sqrt[a]}],a>0]

(I*(Sqrt[1 + 1/a] - 1))/(8*(-a + Sqrt[a^2 + a] - 1))
