Patient dies in Jaipur hospital due to ‘wrong’ blood transfusion
A patient died in Jaipur’s SMS Hospital allegedly due to “wrong” blood transfusion on Friday.
The deceased has been identified as Sachin Sharma (23), a resident of Bandikui.
“He had O+ blood group but he was administered AB+ blood in the hospital. Soon after the blood transfusion, his kidneys got damaged,” said Mahesh, father of Sachin.
He alleged that the sample and prescription given to the family members to bring blood belonged to some other patient.
“When we submitted this prescription to the Trauma Blood Bank, the staff gave us the AB Positive blood,” he said.
He said that after blood transfusion and operation, Sachin was shifted to the Plastic Surgery Department.
