PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to accurately classify and report cause of death
Wider context from the report
“5. The cause of death reported in Turkey was natural. It was recorded as 1a, Cardiogenic Shock, due to 1b. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation. In the circumstances of a massive bleed in the abdomen following the introduction of the instrument known as the optical trocar, the death is regarded as unnatural. The evidence before the inquest was that three incisions had been made to the abdomen, two of which with a sharp instrument. ”

PFD Monitor interpretation
Inadequate embalming for repatriation
Wider context from the report
“4. The embalming process for repatriation from Turkey to the UK was inadequate due to there being no evidence of fluid perfused to the great vessels, leaving Emma's body at risk of infection during transit. This presented a risk of decomposition as well as a health risk to the professionals receiving her body in the UK. ”

PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to use a medically informed, clear and sufficiently comprehensive pre-assessment process
Wider context from the report
“2. The series of health related pre-assessment questions asked before referral to the private hospital in Turkey were unclear, as there was no evidence of a standard form produced by a medically trained source for the referring staff to refer to. The questions did not include an enquiry about family history of medical conditions such as cardiac related relevant to Emma. ”

PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to accurately document surgical procedures and operative findings
Wider context from the report
“5. The surgery note provided to Regenesis stated that the sleeve gastrectomy operation was not completed following the intra-abdominal bleed in the omentum. The UK post mortem confirms that the surgery had been completed and that the site of the bleed was the lieno-renal ligament and not the omentum. The lieno-renal ligament site had been packed to stem the bleed during the operation and was present at post mortem. ”

PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to independently assess patient fitness before arranging surgery
Wider context from the report
“1. The health tourism company Regenesis UK relied upon patient self declaration of health and made no independent enquiries to satisfy themselves that Emma was fit for the gastric sleeve procedure before making the arrangement for her to have surgery at the Termessos Hospital, Antalya in Turkey. ”
