    Report summary

    Shyama Vadwatee Rampadaruth, who had multiple co-morbidities, became unwell during a routine renal dialysis appointment on 13 April 2020, was later admitted as an emergency, diagnosed with COVID-19 and died three days later. The principal concern was that, after being separated from other patients, she waited for approximately six hours on a hard chair rather than being allowed to return home with family support while awaiting dialysis.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to make suitable interim arrangements for a frail patient during prolonged transfer delays

    Wider context from the report

    “However, this meant that Ms Rampadaruth had to wait for approximately six hours on a hard chair in a hospital waiting area. This is clearly sub optimal for the health of a frail, elderly lady with multiple co-morbidities. The patient transfer service is likely to have been busy, but Ms Rampadaruth and her husband lived nearby. Her niece, who was very involved with her care, works locally. A quick call to a family member would have resulted in immediate arrangements being made to collect Ms Rampadaruth, bring her home to sit in comfort with familiar company and her usual food and drink, and then to return her when hospital staff were ready to begin her dialysis. Her general well being could have been so enhanced by just a small change to administrative arrangements. ”
