How Pispirigou's claim of a "medical error" in ketamine breaks down In all episodes the mother was always present
The claim of Roula Pispirigou, who is accused of manslaughter of 9-year-old Georgina, that "the ketamine was given by mistake by the doctors" seems to be refuted.
The key point in the toxicology report of Georgina by the professor of forensic medicine of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Nikos Raiko, is the metabolite of ketamine, the substance norketamine.
When the doctors entered the room, the girl has already suffered a cardiac arrest and has 32 pulsations. In their statements they are clear about the drugs they gave.
"The only drugs we gave during resuscitation were adrenaline every five minutes and during intubation rocuronium," testified the intensivist at Aglaia Kyriakou, according to the STAR.
These two substances were not detected in the toxicological analysis, because when they were administered, Georgina had already passed away and they were not circulating in her blood.
The second piece of evidence that refutes Roula Pispirigou's claims of medical error is the amount of 6.5 mg per liter of blood. Therefore, the doctors could not have administered such a high dose by accident.
Another substance was given to Georgina and in the other episodes
The mysterious episodes of Georgina start on April 8, 2021. A healthy child who suddenly develops severe symptoms: Breathlessness, tachycardia, sedation, nystagmus, mydriasis, convulsions, nausea and vomiting puzzle her treating doctors who cannot scientifically explain what is happening to the child.
In all episodes the mother is always present. The child is only quiet when she is admitted to the ICU. The doctors, now having a picture of what has happened, suspect that Georgina was given not only ketamine but also other anaesthetic substances that poisoned her.
The monitor from the Intensive Care Unit of the Patras Children's Hospital, as revealed by "Vima of Kyriaki", shows that everything is normal in the girl. Her pulse rate 86 per minute and her oxygen saturation at 97. Her clinical picture changes for the worse when she returns to a room again.
For his part, Roula's lawyer, Othon Papadopoulos, reiterated that his client was unaware of the substance ketamine and even went a step further.
"The toxicological examination done on little Georgina after her death is not in full correspondence with the medication that was given to her, that is, the substances that were given during Georgina's hospitalization are not exactly mirrored, there are mismatches, there are things that are and should not be."
