Great tragedy! An irregular operation killed a 4-year-old girl. After the accident, the parents were very sad, and the autopsy report pointed the finger at the hospital.

The surgical accident killed a 4-year-old girl, but the parents were saddened but the hospital did not respond positively
Recently, there was a harrowing medical accident in which a 4-year-old girl died during surgery. The accident happened in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, where the family was supposed to take their child for leukemia treatment.
According to the child's father, Mr. Liu, his daughter had been having a fever at the end of last year, and because her condition had not improved, they decided to take them to a local hospital for examination and treatment.
It is reported that until March this year, after Mr. Liu learned that his daughter was suffering from leukemia, he did not hesitate to refer her to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University for treatment.
It was May 14, and in order to evaluate the chemotherapy, the doctor decided to perform a bone marrow aspiration. The operating room was silent, and the child lay nervously and fearfully on the operating table. Suddenly, a mournful scream broke the silence and shook the entire space.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Liu and his wife also realized that an accident had happened. A group of anxious nurses rushed in, the child was in poor condition, pale, cold body, and even incontinent. This sudden situation plunged everyone into panic and tension. Doctors immediately launched first aid measures to try to stabilize the child's vital indicators.
First aid measures did not help, and Mr. Liu's daughter died. "The child left us like this, and she has not yet had time to see this wonderful world." Mr. Liu said bitterly.
However, what is even more distressing is that months have passed and the hospital has not actively addressed the issue. As insiders broke the news, more details of this medical malpractice also surfaced-
Major surgery but regulated Peisheng performed on behalf of Trainees? The main cause of the accident was a series of mistakes
Seeing that his daughter's condition was about to improve, but due to a hasty operation that led to her unfortunate death, this result was unacceptable to Mr. Liu.
In fact, Mr. Liu also knows that this surgery is risky. So, before the operation, the Liu couple emphasized their special requirements to the doctor on duty: they wanted the doctor on duty to perform the operation in person and personally entrust their beloved daughter to the doctor on duty.
However, it is regrettable that during the operation, it was not the doctor on duty who performed the operation, but the two trainees. Afraid of what is coming, the first gauge Pearson made a mistake in the operation, resulting in obvious inaccuracy in the position of the needle when intubating the needle, and even when the second gauge Pearson tried to operate, the needle was mistakenly inserted into the pericardium, which was more than ten centimeters away from the correct position.
According to the results of the autopsy report, the hospital had the main fault in the diagnosis and treatment of Liu, and the degree of fault was between 56%~95%, which directly led to Liu's death.
The report bluntly pointed out that there are three problems in the medical prescription: insufficient notification, insufficient preoperative preparation, and irregular intraoperative operation. The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University was identified as the main responsible party, and there was an obvious causal relationship with Liu's death.
Faced with this situation, Mr. Liu was very angry and deeply dissatisfied with the attitude of the hospital. They have sought help from the health department, the public security department, etc., and mediated. This incident not only brought endless grief to Mr. Liu's family, but also aroused public attention to medical safety and responsibility.
Netizens also hope to draw attention and improvement to the medical system from this sad experience. They hope to seek justice for Mr. Liu's daughter through legal procedures and the power of public opinion, and promote more effective supervision and management of medical safety issues.
Medical malpractice was tragically exposed, and accountability and reform were called for
Until now, the hospital has said it has "dealt with the matter judicially" but declined to respond further to the incident.
According to a professional thoracic and cardiac surgeon, medical safety is always paramount. Although all surgeries carry some risks, it is safer to choose the anterior superior iliac spine site for bone marrow aspiration. Although they are all puncture surgeries, children's sternums are thinner and prone to punctures.
If not done properly, it can lead to cardiac tamponade and death. When carrying out routine operations, the training doctor should have the guidance of a senior doctor, that is, the so-called "let go and do not let go" principle is very important. Therefore, doctors usually accompany the patient throughout the chest puncture surgery and do not leave until after the procedure.
Some netizens said that they had also performed surgical operations such as anterior superior iliac spinous bone puncture, carried out a lot of simulation operations, searched for information and other preparatory work before the internship, and carefully completed the operation under the guidance of the supervisor.
Whether adults or children, fat or thin, they had many discussions with their mentors to successfully complete the process. In this medical malpractice, the two trainees completed the operation alone, without in-depth study and without the presence of a mentor.
Therefore, many people angrily said, "This is really a very loose approach, it is simply a rush to human life!" ”
In short, the death of Mr. Liu's daughter is sad. It is hoped that the relevant departments can seriously investigate this matter, seriously deal with the doctors involved, and at the same time strengthen the training and management of medical staff to improve the overall level of medical safety.
