In connection with the death of a woman following an incorrect blood group transfusion at this district government hospital, three staff nurses and a blood bank technician have been placed on administrative leave.
Not long after giving birth to her twins, the mother was referred to BLDE Hospital. The deceased was also afflicted with other illnesses prior to her admission to the district hospital, according to district surgeon Dr. Shivanand Mastiholi, who acknowledged that the woman was given B-positive blood rather than A-positive after she allegedly bled profusely during giving birth. The 31-year-old Sharada Doddamani was born in the Babaleshwar taluk village of Dadamatti. On February 23, she was brought into the district hospital.
However, she was soon rushed to a private hospital after giving birth to the twins when the doctors realized about transfusion of the wrong blood group. She died on March 18 due various health problems. “The woman recovered in 15 days after she was admitted to the private hospital. But, health worsened as she was suffering from lung infection, low blood pressure, chronic skin disease, pneumonia and other ailments. Transfusion of the wrong blood group alone is not the cause of her death”, Dr Shivanand Mastiholi asserted. The family members of the deceased woman have not filed a complaint with any officials or police station.
