剛看完一個deadline, 講的一個孩子做個小手術,死在手術室的事故,就是兩個藥,在手術室裏,搞混了。

我,Google一下,

 

"Medical accident' cited in boy's death

"Whenever I think about Ben, I start to cry," said his mother, Tammy Kolb.

Hospital officials and Fred Hobin, the area's medical examiner, initially suspected the boy died from a bad reaction to the drug epinephrine, or adrenaline, a heart stimulant that also constricts blood vessels and reduces bleeding during surgery.

 

But this week, Martin Memorial took responsibility for the Port St. Lucie boy's death, saying a surgical team mistakenly administered a lethal dose of stimulants during the operation.

The acknowledgement was made after a laboratory analyses of samples of the drugs used during the operation concluded that Ben received an epinephrine overdose in a "medical accident."

The analyses were conducted by the University of Georgia and National Medical Services in Philadelphia as part of Martin Memorial's own investigation of the death.

Martin Memorial officials said they have settled all legal claims with the Kolb family for an undisclosed amount of money.

"We think Martin Memorial did a good job in investigating," said Tammy Kolb. "We don't have any hard feelings. They're just as hurt as we are. It was devastating to everyone who knew Ben."

Pat Austin, a medical center spokeswoman, agreed.

"There's been only one day sadder at Martin Memorial, and that was the day Ben died," she said. "People here are very caring and they feel very deeply for this family. We would never pretend we could feel the same pain as the family, but it's certainly been the saddest occasion in our history."

Kolb said her son's death was explained to her by Martin Memorial this way: Two syringes of epinephrine were used in the operating room. One contained a topical solution of the drug to be used externally around Ben's ear. The other contained a dosage of epinephrine that was supposed to be injected to constrict blood vessels and lessen bleeding.

這沒法防,我記得以前看新聞,在中國北部,具體哪地方記不清了,把兩個病人送錯手術室,一個心髒手術一個闌尾,開了沒問題才知道錯。 -kai2002- 給 kai2002 發送悄悄話 kai2002 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 12/18/2021 postreply 15:07:19

當然有法子預防了,比如反複查病人手環,術前mark手術位置,問題是反複多發,才是問題,有一家醫院,一個醫生,一年三次做錯顱腦外傷 -willows- 給 willows 發送悄悄話 willows 的博客首頁 (53 bytes) () 12/18/2021 postreply 15:33:01
