NIN News Desk : The 13-member committee of the health department has assumed that the pregnant women fell ill due to the use of Ringer’s lactate saline. According to Health Bhavan, the amount of hemoglobin in the body of pregnant women has decreased after using saline.
According to Swasthya Bhavan sources, the blood cells are breaking. The amount of oxygen in the body of pregnant women is also reduced. (Medinipur Saline Controversy) It has even been reported that infection has occurred in the kidneys of the newborn. Three women are undergoing dialysis. Biopsies are taken from obstetrics with saline secretions. A link between postnatal oxytocin injections and lactated Ringer’s saline is being investigated. It is also being investigated whether there was any chemical reaction due to the saline being boxed for a long time in Medinipur Medical.The name of ringer’s lactate is repeatedly appearing in cases of maternal death in Medinipur Medical.
What is the use of this medicine? How much danger can be if not prepared in accordance with the correct rules? Answered by experts. They said Ringer’s lactate or RL is sodium lactate solution. It contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, water and calcium chloride. This ‘Ringer Lactate’ saline is mainly used to stop postpartum haemorrhage, to maintain sodium-potassium balance in the body. But Ringer’s lactate is used after any other surgery. It applies to both men and women. There is no harm to any of them, the question arises as to how it has such a harmful effect only on pregnant women.
So was there a problem with storing the saline? The question arises. Experts say extreme caution should also be exercised while preparing this medicine. Because if the quality of medicine is not right, the consequences can be dire. If foreign particles enter, the situation can be fatal. How long the saline was stored is also being investigated. According to sources, this Ringer’s Lactate Saline was also given to the woman who died at Medinipur Medical College. The source further claimed that the report submitted by Medinipur Medical at the Health Building, it has been stated that the physical condition of the pregnant women deteriorates as a result of the use of saline manufactured by the company called ‘West Bengal Pharmaceutical’.
A month ago, the Karnataka Drug Control Department had informed the agency that tested 16 samples of saline that were not of sufficient quality. Even so, the question arises as to how the drugs of this company have been used in West Bengal for so long.
