5 April 28-year-old resident of Ulyanovsk Ekaterina Fedyaeva died at Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center.

The woman was brought to Moscow by a special flight after, during the operation, she was mistakenly injected formalin into the abdominal cavity instead of saline, writes News.Rambler.ru.

A criminal case was initiated against the hospital staff for causing death by negligence, the head physician of the medical institution was dismissed.

Fedyaeva wanted to get ready for pregnancy and since September 2017 has been visiting clinics in Ulyanovsk. According to the girl's mother-in-law, Valentina Fedyaeva, she was advised to undergo a laparoscopy operation to remove a cyst on the ovary by the head of the gynecological department of the Central Clinical Medical Sanitary Department. Egorova Valentina Rodionova.

On March 15, the girl was operated on, but then the nurse mistakenly injected the patient into the abdominal cavity instead of saline with formalin. Fedyaeva had a fever and severe abdominal pain.

“After the operation, my son Igor, Katya’s husband, and her mother, Galina Stanislavovna, came to the hospital. Katya was in the common ward, where there were eight more beds, the women had to rest, so Igor left a little earlier. At seven, Galina Stanislavovna was also asked to go home. They told her to come back in the morning with broth. She walked out of the hospital and called me. She told me that Katyusha was asleep and that she had very low pressure, that Katya told her “Mom, I am dying,” and it seemed to her that Katya was just being capricious. The doctors at the hospital gave Smektu a stomach ache. Said, dissolve and give it to yourself. Then Kate was given a shot of ketorol. So they said. Nobody really knows what an injection is, ”recalls Valentina.

In the morning, Ekaterina’s mother, Galina Baryshnikova, arrived at the hospital.

“At that time I was in the monastery in the service. They called me and said that everything is bad. I arrived at the hospital by taxi, when there was already a resuscitation machine from the regional hospital. I realized that Katya is extremely difficult. Doctors discussed something for a long time and argued among themselves. No one wanted to take it. Then they took Igor and Galina Stanislavovna to the office. I also went, but they didn’t let me go. They signed a transport document to transport it to the regional hospital, ”said the mother-in-law of the deceased.

In the regional intensive care unit, the head of the department explained to her relatives that too much time had been lost. Then Catherine was sent to Moscow, she arrived on March 19 in the Burnazian Federal Medical Biophysical Center.

“The girl was delivered in a very difficult condition with multiple organ failure, in fact incompatible with life. Doctors involved in maintaining the functional state. The patient was on artificial lung ventilation, on an artificial kidney, ”the press service of the biomedical center said.

Specialists of the medical institution managed to bring the girl to consciousness, as well as to restore the functioning of the lungs.

“When she was taken out of the coma, I came to her, she opened her eyes, whispered. I realized that there was hope. We had a very good relationship with her. She was very happy when she saw me. The next day, Igor and Galina Stanislavovna arrived. We were on duty for three days together. They began to let Igor go to her for a few minutes. I went home, and then Igor called me and said that Kate had become worse, ”said Valentina Fedyaeva.

The dose of formalin was too high, the girl's body could not cope with the poisoning, and on April 5 she died.

According to the Minister of Health of the Ulyanovsk region, the tragedy occurred due to the fact that the medical staff "did not read the name on the bottle", which was used during the operation.

According to Catherine's mother-in-law, the doctor Valentina Rodionova, who performed the operation, quit on her own accord when the girl was transferred to intensive care. In addition to her, five more people left the hospital from the medical staff.

Medical staff at the hospital face penalties of up to 3 years. Now in the region, an investigation into the tragedy is underway.

“Galina Stanislavovna was called by our Minister of Health, but she could not talk to him. Igor was talking. The minister told him: "We will pay you everything." Then Galina Stanislavovna received a call from social security and asked: “How much money do you need?”. She answered them: “How many will send, so much will be.” Nothing to ask them did not. We ourselves will master everything. Only the child does not return. The material side does not bother us. Of course, we are not rich, but we can master it. And we don’t know how to live without Katya, ”says Valentina.

She also clarified that Catherine's mother was with the investigator, who showed her explanatory doctors. It says that after formalin was introduced, they washed the abdominal cavity.

“They washed and put them in the general ward, and then they started to mislead. They advised "Smecta", they said that this is how the anesthesia goes away. I believe that they were deliberately misleading. Formalin is a poison. They just wanted to cover their tracks. To accompany relatives from the department and then, as is usually the case in our area, to settle everything so that no one ever finds out. They could not physically kill her, but she, in fact, was dying with them. She was with them for a day after she was injected with formalin. The girl was dying for XNUMX hours, and they knew what they had done, and they killed her with a close-knit team, ”Valentina is indignant.
