Jaipur/ Bikaner, Dec. 19 -- A 75-year-old woman suffering from cancer was allegedly given the wrong blood group at the Acharya Tulsi cancer wing of PBM Hospital in Rajasthan's Bikaner on Wednesday, causing her condition to deteriorate suddenly. The superintendent of the PBM Hospital, Dr Surendra Verma, said, "The patient, Bhanwari Devi, was admitted due to severe anaemia and was undergoing blood transfusion on Wednesday evening when a unit of an incompatible blood group was allegedly transfused.Her haemoglobin level was at 4.4. Her health deteriorated immediately after the transfusion. However, she is stable now." The hospital authority had formed committees to probe the matter and submit a report. "A central committee comprising four additional superintendents have been made to probe the matter. Meanwhile, the Oncology Department and the blood bank authority have also formed two separate committees to investigate the matter. The report of the primary probe will be sent to the state government who will take further actions against the culprits." According to the family members of the victim, the patient needed A+ blood group but she was transfused instead with B+ blood group. "The nursing staff in the cabin asked us to get a unit of blood for her from the blood bank. Soon after we transfused it, she fell sick. We gave her CPR. Nursing staff were watching everything silently. Later, we noticed that the blood unit with B+ blood was transfused to her instead of A+," said a family member of the victim in the hospital. Another official familiar to the matter meanwhile also said that the hospital authority suspects that the confusion arose as another patient with the same name was also admitted to the same cabin of the cancer wing. "It is probable that the nursing staff did not notice the details of the patients. The parties of both the patients brought units from the blood bank for their respective patients. But, the nursing staff had probably swapped the units mistakenly. It will be ascertained after the primary investigation," he said....
