Recently, some media reported such a medical incident: In Suining County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, a baby came to the County People’s Hospital for treatment because of a foreign body in the airway. After a preliminary diagnosis by the receiving doctor, , it was diagnosed as a foreign body in the trachea, and the intravenous channel was opened in time. However, considering the insufficiency of his own skills and the insufficiency of hospital equipment, the doctor recommended that the patient's family be transferred to a higher-level hospital for further treatment. However, because the child's parents were not available at that time. He was not around, only a relative of the child was present, so the informed consent form was not signed. After a while, when the child's parents arrived and the doctor explained the situation, the child's parents did not immediately agree to transfer to another hospital. However, as the condition progressed over a period of time, the child's physical condition showed some changes.
The child's parents saw that the child's condition was not good, and the hospital also informed the critical nature of the condition as much as possible, and finally considered transferring to a higher-level hospital. But at this time, a long time has passed since the patient saw the doctor. During the transfer to a higher-level hospital for treatment, the child suffered cardiac arrest. Although the medical staff carried out emergency rescue at the first time and consulted with experts, unfortunately they could not save the child's life. In the end, during the investigation, it was found that the hospital did not do a particularly good job in informing the patient of the condition and transferring patients, and should bear certain responsibilities. The receiving doctors and hospital leaders were also punished to a certain extent.
Although corresponding treatment was carried out, the child's life could not be restored. This matter deserves our deep thought. First of all, the child's parents failed to take good care of the child, allowing the child to come into contact with more dangerous things, causing the child's trachea to be blocked, and eventually leading to death from suffocation. Therefore, we also warn parents of children to take care of their children carefully. After all, children do not yet have the ability to judge the dangers of this world.
In addition, the hospital also has loopholes in notifying patients of their condition. We hope that we can strengthen this aspect in the future so that family members can fully understand the patient’s condition and make the most reasonable decision to save the patient’s life. life.
