Two doctors on duty at the Arapiraca Regional Hospital in Alagoas were indicted by the Civil Police for the death of Cíntia Soares Farias, 25, on February 4 this year.
Professionals will be responsible for manslaughter, when there is no intention to kill, for non-compliance with a technical rule during postpartum care. Their names were not disclosed.
Delegate Edberg Oliveira said Cíntia left the city of Batalha, inland, to give birth to Arapiraca. She entered the hospital maternity hospital around 5 am, was treated at 10am and passed a caesarean section.
After the procedure, the patient presented postpartum bleeding. Even with the symptoms, she would have been sent to the ward and remained for about six hours without proper care, according to the Civil Police. Only around 4 pm was it transferred to the hospital intensive care unit (ICU), where it was transfused by three blood bags, but could not resist and died at 10:15 pm on the same day.
The inquiry, concluded and sent to the judiciary on Tuesday (13), states that the indicted doctors stopped acting with the speed and care required for the case, which may have contributed directly to the patient’s death. The indicted doctors did not have the names disclosed.
THE CNN contacted the hospital where the case happened, but the health unit has not yet responded.
