Take the IUD, die from drug allergies

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-01

This case has been handled by our team for 20 years.

The patient, Ms. Xiang, is a rural woman who has three children after marriage, and in response to the national family planning policy, she was put into the ring after giving birth. In 2020, Ms. Xiang had been menopausal for more than eight years, so she went to the county hospital to get the IUD, and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids and intrauterine IUD displacement at that time.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiang X underwent surgery after general anesthesia, and half an hour later, Xiang X suddenly had convulsions and his face was bruised, so the medical staff immediately carried out rescue operations for him, but unfortunately, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Xiang X died due to ineffective rescue.

After the patient died, the family conducted an autopsy on him, and the autopsy results showed that Xiang died of anaphylactic shock caused by drug allergy.

After Xiang was buried, he approached a family member to negotiate compensation with the hospital, but the hospital refused to compensate for the reasons that the drugs used in the operation did not require skin testing, so Ms. Xiang's daughter came to us and wanted to repay her mother through litigation.

The appraisal opinion shows that the county hospital was at fault for Xiang's diagnosis and treatment, but it was unable to determine the causal relationship between its diagnosis and treatment and Xiang's death. Considering that the county hospital did not keep Xiang's medical records properly and the medical records were not written in a standardized manner, it is presumed that the hospital bears 80% of the responsibility and Xiang himself bears 20% of the responsibility.

The court made a judgment based on the proportion of liability: the county hospital was required to compensate a family member for various losses of 250,000 yuan.

As a lawyer with a medical background, I would like to remind you to pay attention to the removal of the IUD:

1.For those who have amenorrhea for half a year, or during perimenopausal with menstrual disorders, if there are no contraindications to surgery, the IUD should be removed as soon as possible.

2.In the acute phase of various medical and surgical diseases, it is necessary to wait for ** or stable condition before surgery. If you have high blood pressure or other diseases, you should properly control your blood pressure before performing surgery to avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

3.**Inflammation phase, need to ** after surgery.

4.Everyone's situation is different, and if it is difficult for people to remove the ring, they need to be hospitalized if necessary.
