Regarding the death of a woman in her 60s who was infected with the new corona in Kanagawa Prefecture last year at a prefectural accommodation facility, the prefecture's third-party committee said, ``There is room for improvement in response, but it seems that it may cause death. We compiled and published a report stating that there were no inappropriate points.
According to reports and other sources, a woman in her 60s in Kanagawa Prefecture, who was confirmed to be infected on May 26 last year, entered a sanatorium in the prefecture the next day, but on the morning of June 4, she died in bed. He was found in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest and died.
The woman's oxygen level in her blood dropped from the previous day, and the prefecture repeatedly checked her physical condition by phone, but it is believed that her condition suddenly changed during the hours when she did not contact her from the night before to the next morning.
The prefecture set up a third-party committee consisting of outside experts such as lawyers, and was proceeding with the investigation. A report stating that there were no inappropriate points was released.
As measures to prevent a recurrence, we are proposing to
call patients who need it at night to confirm their safety, and to make it
possible for them to receive a doctor's examination promptly
.
Senichi Shinohara, deputy director of the Kanagawa Prefectural Health and Medical Bureau, said, "We would like to continue to operate the accommodation facility so that patients can receive treatment with peace of mind."
