So tragic 😔
Samantha Brousas, 49, died from sepsis after being taken to a North Wales emergency department which was ‘severely overcrowded’
After she arrived in an ambulance at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, paramedics were told there were no beds available – despite sepsis being a life-threatening, time-critical illness. Paramedics failed to give a ‘pre-alert’ to hospital staff that Ms Brousas was critically ill, leading coroner Joanne Lees to issue a prevention of future deaths report to the Welsh Ambulance Service.The delay in treating the mother inside the hospital did not cause her death, but paramedics had not followed guidelines in failing to issue the alert, coroner Joanne Lees said in her narrative verdict.
‘Nothing will bring our beloved Sam back but we urge all those that were involved in her care to learn lessons from what happened to her and work together to make sure that significant changes are made quickly.‘It is disgraceful that this could have happened and we want to make sure it does not happen to anyone else.’
