A baby boy died after he was born while his mother was being taken into surgery in a wheelchair and nurses accidentally dragged the newborn along the floor.

The boy suffered fatal head injuries when his mother gave birth while in the wheelchair, and he was pulled along on his head for several feet before medical staff noticed.

The baby's mother, Shang Shao, 45, had been rushed to hospital in Luoyang City in central China's Henan province, and was already in labour when she was taken into surgery.

Ms Shang was only seven months pregnant when her water broke, and she was taken to hospital by her partner Pan Mai, 46.

Despite already being in labour, a doctor decided Ms Shang needed a caesarean and she was placed in a chair to be wheeled into surgery.

Ms Shang was captured on CCTV as she gives birth to the boy while sitting in the wheelchair, and medical staff failing to notice the baby still attached by the umbilical cord.

The baby boy is then dragged on his head along the floor, as unsuspecting staff continue pushing Ms Shang down the hall before noticing a trail of blood.

Too late: Medical staff rushed to the baby's aid after discovering a trail of blood behind the wheelchair


Tragedy: The baby suffered fatal head injuries and died soon after from intracranial hematomas


The baby's familyis now looking to sue the hospital in Luoyang City in central China

A hospital spokesman said: 'The baby was taken into intensive care but died soon after of intracranial hematomas, a rupturing of a blood vessel between the skull and the brain.

'The doctor who suggested she be given a caesarean has been suspended from duty.He was inexperienced and should have consulted a senior doctor.

'The nurses taking the mother have been disciplined as they should not have moved her in a wheelchair. They have been demoted and given a warning.

'This was a terrible incident and our hearts go out to the family.'

The family is now looking to sue the hospital and the baby's father Mr Pan said: 'This is the most traumatic day of our lives.'

As an expecting dad, I blame it on the nurses...

These women are in excruciating pain and the only thing they are thinking is how to offload the baby inside them. The nurses should be extra careful in how to handle them and most importantly, someone monitoring the babe passage as they transport the pregnant women...

This is so sad.

My heart goes to the poor family for their loss.

Why was the doctor given a more severe punishment than the nurses?

Must you comment?
I see
Anyway, back to topic, I can't believe this could happen in a hospital in China. Even our village midwives could have handled this situation better.
From my observation in some hospitals in Nigeria, some nurses are so used to seeing pregnant women in labour that they are immune to their screams and words. They are just cold.
These nurses should be fired and then flogged.

You nailed it right there.

Because she would have been delivered normally as she finally did.

An unfortunate incident.

.

nurses, tufia! worst people in the medical field. i thought this was peculiar to only Nigerian nurses!

The fault of 'God' only.
The family has the right to sue. All depends on who gets the better lawyers to twist 'things' around.
Next time, the woman should wear HER PANT before leaving the house.
Simple.

Boy! Poor baby.
But her poohsie must have been so wide. Dang!

*See how clean and professional the staff and hospital look! I pity Africa. Twa!*

I guess they should have placed her in a stretcher instead of a wheelchair.

Poor child.

Thank You!

That is one thing I am so sure they do in Gbagada general Hospital as I have experienced it twice there... They use stretchers and not some wheel chairs when going into the theater.

This is heartbreaking, how useless are those nurses? Very avoidable death.

Sorry o make the people wey don born no vex but wont the woman have felt when the baby is about to come out or when it comes out? Is it that painless or was the baby that tiny?
