A tragic incident occurred on November 6 in one of Shakhrisabz’s private clinics, resulting in the death of a young woman. She had visited the clinic with complaints of throat swelling and severe pain due to tonsillitis.
The otorhinolaryngologist diagnosed her with purulent tonsillitis and decided to administer treatment through injections of the medications “Dexamethasone” and “Ceftriaxone.” These drugs are commonly used to reduce inflammation and fight infection. However, in this case, the doctor opted to mix the medications and inject them directly into the throat area.
During the procedure, the young woman’s condition worsened sharply: she lost consciousness, and her tongue obstructed her airway. The medical team attempted to provide emergency assistance, but despite their efforts, they were unable to save her.
The city prosecutor’s office is currently conducting a preliminary investigation into the incident. As part of the inquiry, the actions of the medical staff and adherence to all norms and standards of medical care will be thoroughly examined.
This case raises numerous concerns regarding the use of medical drugs and treatment methods. Specialists note that “Dexamethasone” and “Ceftriaxone” are powerful medications that require careful handling and strict adherence to safety precautions. Improper combination and administration of these drugs can lead to severe consequences, particularly if no prior allergy tests are performed and if emergency measures are not in place to address complications.
The public is awaiting the results of the investigation and comments from the Ministry of Health. This tragic incident highlights the need for strict oversight of private medical institutions and the implementation of additional measures to enhance patient safety.
