MARENO. Further tests will be needed to understand with certainty how Chloe died, the newborn who died in the night between 11 and 12 April at the “San Valentino” hospital in Montebelluna, leaving the family in pain. The anatomopathologist Alberto Furlanetto performed a first autopsy on the newborn’s body.
“For now we can not say anything yet, we will have to carry out other investigations, including the histological examination on the newborn from the heart, and on the placenta, to establish where the problem originated” he explained. Macroscopic anomalies that could immediately lead to a cause have not been found, except that at this moment death remains due to a “natural cause”.
More specific tests will therefore be performed in the coming weeks, which will lead to the detection of a more complex cause. These are investigative insights that will take a couple of months. “In the meantime,” Furlanetto said, “the health documentation will be acquired to understand if everything possible has been done”. What is certain is that the problems that led to the death of the newborn must be sought in the last period of gestation. Apart from natural causes, yellow remains for now. In the meantime – we remember – the prosecutor has opened an investigation file, which, however, will have to wait for the further steps of the autopsy, which will arrive in 60 days, when we will know something more.
The Treviso healthcare company reiterates its maximum willingness to collaborate with the judicial authority. The baby – we remember – was born with natural birth at 2.59. “Through the audit carried out by colleagues, all the steps have been verified and it is believed that we have done our utmost with the utmost commitment,” said Francesco Benazzi, the CEO of Ulss 2 of the Marca. “Nothing emerged, neither from the point of view of scientific evidence nor from the process followed which was corrected. There was the neonatologist and the anesthetist was warned, there were also all the professionals who could interact at that time. Obviously, including the gynecologist and the midwife »continues the managing director« the whole process that seemed correct was reviewed and analyzed on time. It is not an easy topic, from myself and from the whole company maximum closeness to the family, we understand the serious suffering of the parents “. –
