Sixth time lucky Tribune News Service
Panchkula, June 7
“She had a history of miscarriages and foetal loss. Last year, despite being admitted to a hospital in Mumbai for two months and after heavy expenditure, her baby could not be saved. We thought we could help her and immediately put her on special medication to enhance the lung maturity of the baby and gain some time,” says Dr Preeti Jindal, a recurrent miscarriage specialist, who delivered the baby 10-days back. Maintaining that it was a rare case where the woman had two separate uteri, a malformation associated with abortions, she adds, “She came back in the seventh month and we thought we could not wait anymore. So, along with Dr Indu Gupta, a caesarian was performed. To add to the complication, the baby was breech. He weighed 1.45 kg when he was born and had been taking feeds well. Now, his weight is about 1.51 kg and the baby is seven-and-a-half-months old.” Initially, the baby was kept in a specially equipped nursery and given oxygen, IV fluids and phototherapy. Nurses Mala and Ram took care of the baby round-the-clock, not leaving him for a minute. “We were all very excited about this baby and gave personal attention to him. Now, he is having expressed mother’s milk and supplements of multuivitamins and calcium. We have trained the mother to take care of the baby and she is confident of being able to manage him at home. So, we are discharging her,” Jindal maintained. Paediatrician Chhaya Prasad said though the baby was doing well, he could have to come back. “Hygiene is very important in premature babies.” Dr Kuldeep Dhawan, overall in charge, said they wanted to discharge the mother and child because they did not want the baby to get any hospital acquired infection. Meanwhile, the mother and her baby are ready to pack up and go home.

Chandigarh, June 7 However, the inquiry report by the fact finding committee, constituted by the hospital authorities, found that one of the paramedic staff infused an injection to the baby in an incorrect way on February 14 for which the action was recommended against him, informed medical superintendent Dr Harsh Mohan. Susheel, a resident of Ambala City, lodged a complaint with the hospital authorities that his one-month-old son admitted to the hospital died because of wrong injection. Dr Mohan said the baby, admitted on February 9, was suffering from sepsis (severe infection). The baby was put on antibiotics when a paramedic injected the child with calcium gluconate on February 14. The paramedic infused the injection rapidly instead of slowly and the condition of baby started deteriorating due to cardio respiratory arrest, said Dr Mohan. However, the baby was resuscitated thereafter, claimed the medical superintendent, adding that after six days of the incident the baby died due to sepsis.
