Medical Error at Sète Hospital Leads to 11-Year-Old’s Death After Adrenaline Mix-Up
On Facebook, the story of an 11-year-old girl who fell into a coma after being admitted to the Sète hospital for gastroenteritis on Monday, May 25, is moving the web. Her older sister recounts how a nursing assistant allegedly administered a product to her by mistake.
A desperate post is moving the internet users. It is the story of an 11-year-old girl, hospitalized in Sète for a stomach ache. According to the family from Frontignan-la Peyrade, she would have accidentally received a dose of adrenaline.
A nursing assistant would have accidentally injected 5 mg of adrenaline to the victim admitted to the emergency room, instead of a Spasfon ampoule. As a result, the girl’s heart rate accelerated. "She started shaking, vomiting, and then her heart stopped," reports Actu.fr.
It took two hours for the doctors to revive her. She was then transferred overnight to the Arnaud-de-Villeneuve hospital in Montpellier. Unfortunately, the young girl did not survive and the family decided to file a complaint.
