Can Serflo Inhaler Taken For Breathlessness Cause Death Of A Person?
My mother died in the last month.It hapenned like this - after having our dinner at 9 pm she felt breathlessness.I bought a serflo 250 inhaler and used 2 puffs .....it didn't work...after 5 mins i again gave 2 puffs...it didn't work...after 5 mins i gave one puff...after some 3 to 4 mins she suddenly became unconcious...when we took her to the nursing home (within 15 mins) they said that she has died...she had a heart surgery 36 years ago...was her death due to heart attack or might be due to extra dose of inhaler ?
Evidence to support to tell that the death was due to heart attack more likely - The patient was severely breathless before inhaler. - History of heart surgery in the past, so the heart is already compromised. - Inhaler not responding, so breathlessness was not from the respiratory cause. Still, final wordings are must from the post mortem report only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
