A rare emergency at the Eisenstadt hospital is shocking: an allergic reaction after anesthesia has serious consequences for a young family. Everything should have been so beautiful.
When offspring comes into the world, nothing can be better for the parents. In the case of one young family, the happy event was overshadowed by a dramatic incident.
Anesthetics are to blame for the drama
During the delivery at the Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy in Eisenstadt, an emergency caesarean section – known in technical terms as an emergency section – had to be performed. The anesthesia had serious consequences. The baby was born, but the mother has not been fully conscious since then. According to unconfirmed information, the baby was breastfed while the mother was ‘already in a coma’.
Dad alone with baby
The shock is deep. The tragic incident, which was widely reported among hospital staff, took place almost two weeks ago. The father now has to take care of the baby alone. The wife and mother are in intensive care in Eisenstadt.
“Unknown allergy to an anesthetic”
An anesthesia incident occurred in an emergency room at Brothers of Mercy Hospital and the patient developed an unknown allergy to an anesthetic, according to the lawsuit. “We are bound by confidentiality and cannot provide information about the medical conditions of patients,” the hospital’s president, Robert Maurer, noted.
In contact with family members
“We are in contact with the next of kin and have sympathy for them in this stressful situation. Such incidents are also extremely stressful for our employees. We offer psychological support for this,” Maurer adds. There has been no official complaint.
Information before anesthesia
In order not to create fear of anesthesia, anesthesiologists recommend a preoperative information interview with each patient. “Questions about allergies are of course part of this, as well as information about possible risks and side effects.” Modern medicine is able to offer customized anesthesia for each person and each procedure, it is emphasized. However, a hospital is never immune to completely unexpected complications.
