2022: Death of a child after being damaged by a lung catheter with a blood transfusion

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) Alexander Bastrykin took control of the investigation of the criminal case into the death of a three-year-old child on December 1, 2021 in the Tula Children's Regional Clinical Hospital. This was announced on November 8, 2022 in the press service of the department.

They said that the investigating authorities of the Investigative Department of the TFR in the Tula region investigated a criminal case under Part 1 of Art. 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (causing death by negligence). The investigation charged the doctor of the children's hospital in the city of Novomoskovsk, from where the child was admitted to the regional hospital in serious condition, where he died.

Tula Children's Regional Clinical Hospital

According to the Tula Press newspaper, during a blood transfusion at the Novomoskovsk city hospital, doctor Polina Kozlova pierced the boy's lung and vein with a catheter. The physician knew about contraindications and could choose another artery, the femoral, and reduce the risks to the child's health. According to the investigation, Kozlova ignored the rules and regulations, did not take into account the risk criteria, chose the wrong artery and did her job poorly.

As the boy's mother Vlast Kubeev told the Tula press, the doctors of the Novomoskovsk city clinical hospital tried to "hush up" the case by changing the medical history and rewriting the protocols.

I realized that the data of the medical history were changed, in addition, it is not my husband's signature [Vlasta's husband went to the hospital with the boy - only he could sign the documents], but for some reason mine, but accordingly not put by my hand. I turned to the Ministry of Justice, bypassing the investigator for a handwriting examination, where I also received a conclusion that the signature was not put by my hand. I understand that this will not be one lawsuit. I would like to punish, give publicity about those doctors who hid and rewrote their protocols in the medical history at the Novomoskovsk City Clinical Hospital. This is the head of the infectious diseases department, surgeon, head physician for childhood, who signed and assured a copy of the medical history, she said.[1]
