But a coroner attributed his death to the “natural causes”, since the medicine had the leg needed to treat another condition and no hospital staff had done anything wrong.
The Forensic Senior Graeme Irvine made the determination in East London Forener’s Court on Wednesday (April 9), duration of an investigation into the death of Sterling Vann.
Mr. Vann, 71, or Arbor Way, Elm Park, died on January 16 after receiving Clexane, also known as low molecular weight hparina (LMWH), to address a blood clot in his lung.
“I don’t think any error occurred in the treatment of Mr. Vann,” Irvine said.
“The use of Clexane, a powerful drug, entails the possibility of side effects … It was simply a recognized complication that joined the problems that Mr. Vann had at that time, which were multiple.”
The court heard that Mr. Vann, who was already treated by Alzheimer’s dementia and type 2 diabetes, fell ill on January 8, increasingly breathless that he could not finish his prayers.
The former financial advisor was described by his wife Elaine as “a committed and very outgoing family man”, having voluntary as one of the ambassadors of the London team of Mayor Sadiq Khan, offering advice to tourists.
It was tasks by ambulance to Queen’s Hospital A&E, where a computerized tomography discovered that it had a pulmonary embolism, which means a blood clot, in the left lung.
The court heard that after drugs were administered that broke the clot, it was clear that Mr. Vann was now bleeding internally.
The blood grain injections ceased, but the bleeding continued and died after its admission.
The forensic doctor of the Trust Hospital referred the death to the coroner, since they could not find an underlying medical reason for the gastrointestinal bleeding of Mr. Vann.
“It seems to me that it is likely that gastrointestinal bleeding was probable caused by the treatment of pulmonary embolism,” said Mr. Irvine.
But he said that the administration of Clexne had been the best clinical practice for a patient with a pulmonary embolism like Van and there was no indication, Van would have a sensitivity to that medication. ”
But he added: “To be clear, Mrs. van, I don’t think the research process has been a waste of time. I think it is clean that incidents of this type are closely seen so that things are not lost.”
