2022: Recovery of 3 million rubles of compensation for medical error after nine years
On July 12, 2022, the Pervomaisky District Court of Krasnodar recovered 3 million rubles of moral damage for the death of a patient as a result of a medical error that was made in the Tikhoretsky Central District Hospital nine years earlier.
The man entered the facility in 2013 with emergency pain (kidney stones). Doctors assigned him an operation, there it was regular and without complications. But during the post-operative period, when the person had not yet moved away from anesthesia, he accidentally pulled out the drainage.
When re-installing the drainage - at the stage of preparing the patient for surgery - the anesthesiologist-resuscitator, inattentively and inadvertently (as stated in the case file), performed an unsuccessful attempt at intubation (the introduction of a special tube into the patient's trachea to ensure airway patency).
 | After that, the doctor carried out mask ventilation, but did not analyze the reasons for the difficult intubation, did not invite an endoscopist to intubate using fibroscopic techniques or a senior and more experienced doctor, but continued to prepare the patient for the operation in the absence of information about the parameters of monitoring vital signs of the body, - the court decision says. |  |
As a result, the patient died. In the medical certificate, the cause of death is a rupture of the esophagus with bleeding when installing a nasogastric probe. However, the doctor was released from criminal liability as a result of the amnesty act.
Relatives tried to get justice for nine years. First, they managed to recover 400 thousand rubles from the medical institution. They were paid to the widow as compensation for moral damage. Then the daughter of the deceased man turned to the lawyers.
Having studied the documents, assessing the prospect of the case, they took it into work. We went to court from the parents of the victim and his children. This case reminds you that harm to health has no statute of limitations, - wrote medical law lawyer Sergei Bronitsky in his Telegram channel.
As a result, a total of 3.4 million rubles were collected from the hospital in this case.[1]
