Abdominal pain in pregnant woman misinterpreted

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Her acute abdominal pain was first interpreted as a symptom of gastritis. Later, when the woman had already been sent home, the doctor noticed that she had both affected liver values ​​and high blood pressure. But this was not conveyed to the maternity ward, but in a message to a midwife in the maternity unit, which was not reached by the information until several days later.

It ended with the woman being delivered by caesarean section. The incident has been reported to the Inspectorate for Care and Care. If other personnel involved had not reacted and corrected the mistake, the course could have been worse, Region Kronoberg writes in a press release.
