A nurse has been charged in the emergency department at St. Raphael Hospital in Zala County.
you have not given a patient any medicine prescribed by a doctor,
and the old man died shortly after, a spokesman for the Zala County Attorney General’s Office told MTI on Wednesday.
Csaba Pirger claimed that the 30-year-old nurse from Zalaegerszeg was a self-employed entrepreneur at the hospital, who administered medications independently on the doctor’s instructions.
Last September, ambulances rushed a 93-year-old man with increasing suffocation and shortness of breath to the emergency department, to whom the doctor prescribed an IV ampoule and two capsules of medication. This instruction was communicated orally by the physician to the nurse and was recorded in writing on the patient’s treatment sheet by the attending physician who was also present.
Due to the inattention of the nurse, the two capsules, instead of oral medication
administered an intravenous injection to the patient that was not prescribed by the doctor.
As a result, the patient became ill a few seconds later, his circulation collapsed, and despite all possible procedures, in which the nurse was involved,
died after two resuscitations.
According to the indictment, the immediate cause of death was acute circulatory failure, which was caused by cardiac arrest caused by an error given by the nurse and by an acid-base disturbance after resuscitation. However, the patient’s pre-existing conditions also played a key role in the failure of long-term resuscitation.
The Zalaegerszeg District Prosecutor’s Office charged the nurse with negligent threats during the occupation.
