At a hospital in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, a person in his 60s who had received sap due to mild sputum symptoms fell into a brain death due to sudden cardiac arrest.

The patient's family accused the hospital chief of police, saying, "I made an inexperienced first aid person unconscious."

According to the complaint filed by the patient's family, Mr. A (68, female) living in Wanju visited an otolaryngologist in Jeonju with her husband to treat sputum symptoms around 10 am on the 8th.

He usually suffered from diabetes, but the family said he had breakfast before going to school and was healthy enough to make lunch appointments with his daughter on Mother's Day.

Mr. A received the fluid first, according to the hospital's recommendation, and the husband made medicine at the pharmacy and waited for his wife to finish treatment in the hallway.

Then I heard the voice of my wife urgently calling herself in the hospital room.

Mr. A said to her husband in a hurry, "I don't know why I am doing this," and then fell cold sweat.

At that time, part of Mr. A's face turned black, and foreign substances mixed with saliva continued to pour out of his mouth.

“Why, why,” the husband asked the medical staff for help.

Families claim that this was around 11:10 am, while the hospital said it wasn't until 11:25 that the patient was aware of the critical condition.

Upon hearing the fuss, the medical staff who came into the hospital room shook the patient's body and checked sugar and blood pressure.

The patient's mouth was opened to remove foreign objects.

However, Mr. A's condition gradually deteriorated, and his body turned black after the face.

When the situation returned urgently, the hospital director underwent CPR and instructed the nurse to seek help from a nearby physician and 119.

When the doctor arrived at the hospital, he put his stethoscope on the patient's body and shook his head, saying, "I think my heart is stopped."

The 119 paramedics, who arrived at around 40:11 am, moved C to the emergency room of a nearby general hospital while performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation using an automatic defibrillator (AED).

Mr. A recovered his pulse through first aid, but was unable to regain consciousness.

Medical staff at the general hospital said, "Long-term cardiac arrest persisted, and hypoxia caused brain damage." Even if they wake up, a very serious level of disability is inevitable. "

The patient's family insisted that this had happened because of the lack of early first aid to the ENT.

Mr. A's son told reporters, "The hospital was obliged to take immediate measures against the patient in an emergency, but wasted valuable time while doing massage." "I would not have been in a state."

He added, "The hospital does not properly disclose the ingredients of the fluid administered to the mother," and added, "it seems to be preparing for legal proceedings before apologizing for late emergency measures."

In response, the hospital countered, "The family's claims are different from the facts."

The head of the hospital said, "It is difficult to identify the patient's condition in detail, but in addition to diabetes, there is a disease in the kidneys." .

The belated emergency measures pointed out, "There is a difference between the family's point of view of the cardiac arrest and the time perceived by the hospital." I'm sorry. "
