Improper operation by trainees
Piercing the heart and causing the girl's death
Mr. Liu told reporters that at the end of last year, his 4-year-old daughter had a fever that had not subsided and was taken to a hospital in Xiamen for examination. She was hospitalized for more than 20 days and was discharged after her child recovered to normal. In March this year, he took his daughter to the hospital for a follow-up examination and found abnormal blood tests, but the cause was not identified.
On March 13th, Mr. Liu took his child to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University for a follow-up examination, and the child was diagnosed with leukemia. Afterwards, treatment was carried out at the hospital.

Evaluate chemotherapy efficacy
The doctor performed a bone marrow puncture on the girl
An accident occurred
After more than ten minutes of entering the operation room, the child could only hear a sudden howl from the room, and soon it went silent. Subsequently. A large group of nurses rushed into the operation room, and the couple realized that something had happened. They also rushed in, only to see the child's face pale, his whole body cold, and even incontinence.
"The child is gone like this, she hasn't had a chance to see the beauty of the world yet." Mr. Liu couldn't accept this result. According to his recollection, after the first two stages of treatment, his daughter has recovered very well, almost no different from a normal person.
Mr. Liu believes that the child's death was caused by the operational errors of the trainees. "At that time, the surgery in the operating room was not performed by the on duty doctor, but was handed over to a trained trainee. The first trained trainee punctured the heart wall in the wrong position, and then the second trained trainee injected into the pericardium, with a deviation of more than ten centimeters from the actual position."
What made Mr. Liu even more angry and puzzled was, "At that time, my daughter's life was in danger. Why didn't I bring my daughter to the ICU for rescue? Instead, I did CPR in an operating room without any rescue equipment for 40 minutes."
In response to Mr. Liu's statement about "regulated trainees performing surgery", the hospital stated that the surgery is performed by qualified medical personnel.
Autopsy report determination:
Hospitals have negligence, ranging from 56% to 95%
Mr. Liu said, "At the time of the incident, the hospital did not acknowledge its own responsibility and asked us to undergo an autopsy as soon as possible. After the incident, they did not apologize or make any phone calls to express condolences."
On May 18th, with the mediation of multiple departments, the hospital and the family entrusted Fujian Nantian Appraisal Co., Ltd.'s judicial appraisal institute to conduct an autopsy.
July 1st
The organization has officially released the report results
The report shows that there are three shortcomings in the medical treatment
1. The medical information is insufficient. Bone marrow puncture can choose the anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, sternum, lumbar spinous process, etc. Among them, there is a heart and its corresponding large blood vessels behind the sternum. If the operation is improper, it is easy to damage the heart and corresponding large blood vessels. There is no information on whether to choose "sternum puncture" in the medical informed consent form for bone marrow puncture. Belongs to insufficient disclosure.
2. Insufficient medical preparation before surgery. In the "bone puncture record", there is no description of "fixing the bone puncture needle at an appropriate length", so it is believed that there is insufficient preoperative preparation.
3. The intraoperative operation is not standardized. From the autopsy and histopathological examination, it was found that there was a needle hole like bleeding area in the heart, which is consistent with the cause before death. Therefore, it is believed that the medical staff operated improperly during the puncture process, and the puncture needle penetrated through the chest bone injury, mediastinal soft tissue, corresponding blood vessels, and heart.
accordingly
The final appraisal opinion is
The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University made a mistake in the diagnosis and treatment process for Liu, and there is a causal relationship between this mistake and Liu's damage consequences. The fault is the main cause, and the size of the medical mistake in the damage consequences ranges from 56% to 95%.
The hospital stated that it is "taking judicial channels"
"After the autopsy report was released, the facts were already clear, but the hospital did not actively handle it." Mr. Liu said that in early July, hospital personnel called to admit that they had some negligence and were willing to pay 50000 yuan in compensation. A few days later, the hospital expressed willingness to take half of the responsibility, but the family did not accept it.
Afterwards, the hospital did not proactively contact the family members, and the family members took the initiative to call, but the hospital did not answer. Seeing that the hospital did not actively handle it, Mr. Liu said, "It is only necessary to go through the judicial process of civil cases."
The reporter will address Mr. Liu's related questions
Transfer to the hospital ↓
Why is the surgery assigned to two trainees?
Do the two trainees have medical qualifications?
Does the autopsy report show respect for the results?
Why did you not make any apology for this matter?
In this regard, the hospital not only stated that the surgery was performed by qualified medical personnel, but also refused to respond further, only stating that "we are taking legal action and believe that the law is fair and just.".
