Woman who died shortly after giving birth did not receive correct medication, coroner rules
A woman who died shortly after giving birth to her daughter did not receive the correct medication, a coroner has ruled.Assistant coroner Matthew Kewley said there was a "failure" to ensure Ms Hodgkinson received blood thinners right up until the birth.
She also had a rare condition known as Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome , which created an increased risk of her developing a deep vein thrombosis.The inquest found there was no documented evidence of clinicians in Chesterfield having properly considered the impact that KTS may have on Ms Hodgkinson's pregnancy. However, this did not contribute to her death, Mr Kewley said.
Ms Hodgkinson was transferred to a hospital in Sheffield the next day, but there was a "failure to communicate" the medication plan, Mr Kewley said. "Whilst this inquest has identified issues in the care provided to Jess during her pregnancy, it must also be noted that there was evidence of good quality care provided by the team in Chesterfield.
