absolute no was the nurse’s response in her defense Roulas Pispirigou for the possibility of a “mistake” in the substance administered to Georgina during the resuscitation process by the “Aglaia Kyriakou” ICU team.

The witness Angeliki Giorgi, who participated with another nurse of the “Aglaia Kyriakou” ICU in the resuscitation process of Georgina on January 29, 2022, when the child ended up, she was categorical in her testimonythat the substances administered were rocuronium and adrenaline and under no circumstances ketamine.

The witness he told the Joint Jury that he administered adrenaline and rocuronium to the little girl on the orders of the chief medical officer, Konstantinos Giovas, and described what happened during Georgina’s last afternoon:

“They called us at 2:30 p.m. and told us that there had been an interruption at the pediatric clinic. We immediately got down and entered the ward. The pediatric doctors were already there and did CPR. The first order they gave me was to administer adrenaline. I also administered rocuronium prior to intubation. After a while my colleague came, I handed her a suitcase and left.

Chairman: Do you remember how many doses of adrenaline you administered?

Witness: Two whole syringes.

Chairman: Were they ready?

Witness: One was ready, the next one I made.

Chairman: To make the next syringe, you left?

Witness: No, I stayed there. The materials were with me, in the suitcase.

Chairman: Were you supervised by someone?

Witness: By Mr. Giuva.

Chairman: Do you know how to tell adrenaline from ketamine?

Witness: Adrenaline has a red line at the top, ketamine does not. Also the adrenaline was in a one ml vial, the ketamine two.

Class Counsel: Are Adrenaline and Ketamine in Different Cases?

Witness: They are long and packed.

Class Support Counsel: At the time of the shift change, what was going on?

Witness: The resuscitation process was in progress. I administered adrenaline for five minutes.

The defense attorney of the accused, Alexis Kougias, during the examination of the nurse, told her that on the part of the mother there is a suspicion that she considers it possible that a mistake was made and that the witness administered ketamine.

Mrs. Giorgi ruled out any possibility that a mistake was made and emphasized that that morning, as required by the ICU procedure, she prepared four injections of which she used two, the one with adrenaline and saline.

Advocate: That quantity you made in the morning, where did you make it?

Witness: In the unit. They are ready-to-use syringes. It is 10 ml.

Counsel: Is there any document that proves that you made it, that it has been formulated serum with specific preparations?

Witness: I always do it under the supervision of a colleague.

Advocate: How can you prove what drugs you put in the composition?

Witness: I did it in the presence of a colleague…there is no document, I do it in the presence of a colleague.

Counsel: Why did you make it at that time?

Witness: Because that’s how we always do it.

Advocate: How does one protect oneself from a mistake?

Witness: We don’t make mistakes.

Al. Kougias: How is it proven that you injected the drugs you say?

Witness: I have answered you.

Al. Kougias: How many times have you done this?

Witness: Several.

The witness told Mr. Kouya’s questions that she had already been working in the ICU for a year and a half and that she had used corresponding injections many times.

He also reiterated that the injections with the substances administered were prepared in the presence of the responsible shift.
