Aishwarya Aswath died on Easter Saturday 2021, hours after presenting to an emergency department with a fever and unusually cold hands
Perth hospital staff missed the signs that a seven-year-old girl was dying of sepsis because of the pressures caused by “inadequate” staffing, a coroner has found.
An inquest into her death was told there was intense demand on staff who missed repeated opportunities to identify the seriousness of her condition. “Aishwarya’s parents brought their daughter in to hospital because they knew she needed help,” Linton said. The coroner has formally backed several recommendations put forward by the Australian Nursing Federation.
She noted there were multiple opportunities on the night where clinicians could have escalated Aishwarya’s care, had they the opportunity to consider her symptoms more closely and listen to the repeated concerns being raised by her parents.
