Bhopal: AIIMS submits report on botched cataract surgery
Advertisement
Specialists from AIIMS were reviewing the exact nature and extent of treatment required for patients suffering from botched cataract surgery held in Barwani district in Indore earlier.
The microbiology department of AIIMS have now concluded the unfortunate medical episode as a result of infections on the operating theatre (OT) table and surgical equipment during the back to back cataract surgeries.
Unlike what was initially suspected in the case, a clean chit has been given by the AIIMS experts to the Ringer Lactic solution used for cleaning eyes before the surgery. The decision has been backed by the Central Drug Laboratory in Kolkata that the solution did not trigger infection. The state health department had sent solution samples to the Kolkata-based laboratory for confirming the cause of the incident.
