The conditions of hospitalization and the clinical picture that 9-year-old Georgina presented when she was admitted to the Children's ICU of Rio Hospital, is expected to describe today before the 18th regular interrogator Christina Salappa, the intensivist Andreas Eliades who treated the 9-year-old when she had already been diagnosed with encephalopathy, as a result of cardiac arrest she had suffered on 11-04-2021.
According to reports, Mr. Iliades, director of the Children's ICU will come to the interrogation office today, opening the cycle of statements that will be invited to give as witnesses in the context of the interrogation, including doctors and nurses from the Karamandaneio Hospital of Patras, the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center and the "Aglaia Kyriakou" Children's Hospital where the 9-year-old girl was hospitalized and breathed her last on January 29, 2022.
The chronicle of the repeated admissions of the child in hospitals and intensive care units (ICU) unfolds in the file that has been formed for the case. Specifically, little Georgina presented multiple sudden medical episodes that began to manifest themselves from April 8, 2021, just three weeks after the death of her sister Iris and always while the child was hospitalized in hospital wards and not in ICU, having only her mother by her side. All these episodes, except the last one, started with tachycardia (150 to 160 contractions per minute). On the contrary, during the last episode, the doctors found the child apnoeic (32 twitches per minute).
In fact, during her apology to the interrogator, Roula Pispirigou had said that after her daughter had suffered a cardiac arrest, she was taken to the intensive care unit of the hospital in Rio and taken care of by its director, Mr. Eliades, an intensivist. In particular, when asked by the interrogator about the reason and cause of Georgina's hospitalisation from the University Hospital of Rio to the Onassis Heart Surgery Centre, the 33-year-old accused replied. Iliades initially insisted, he recommended it to us and we as parents accepted it because when a doctor tells a parent that he can do something to shield his child we felt that we had to take this action."
Mr. Eliades, who is expected to testify before the interrogator today, is considered a crucial witness, as he is the doctor who had saved the 9-year-old girl's life when she was admitted to the Children's ICU of the Rio hospital.
It should be noted that yesterday her father Manos Daskalakis had testified at the interrogation on the circumstances of little Georgina's death. This was preceded by the statement of prosecution by him to the interrogator and his statement that the evidence against his estranged wife Roula Pispirigou for the death of Georgina - with ketamine administration is "irrefutable".
