A Pregnant Woman Who Died Of Sepsis Hours After Leaving Hospital Should Have Been Seen By A Doctor, Inquest Hears
, a small town about 40km from Tumut.
“She was engaging in conversation, we sat and talked, and when she left she said, ‘Thank you for being so nice’,” Brewis said. "That in itself was a red flag for me and in the context of her being pregnant would, for me, have turned my mind to the possibility of a pregnancy related complication so those types of risks but infection would have crossed my mind.”
She had tested positive for helicobacter pylori, a stomach bacteria that can cause pain and nausea, in June 2015, and in September that year was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, better known as excessive morning sickness., but the drug and alcohol reviews had found she was not dependent on that or any other substances.
The inquest is considering a number of issues, including whether there were signs of Williams’ sepsis when she arrived at hospital that night, her multiple previous visits to the hospital with symptoms of vomiting and nausea, whether she was receiving proper antenatal care, and if she should have been identified as a high-risk patient earlier in her pregnancy.
