A 25-year-old woman in labor died in the general hospital in Velingrad.

The doctors managed to save her baby as well.

According to the health facility, everything was done for the young woman and her child, but she developed a rare syndrome in which the death rate is over 80%.

However, the relatives believe that the doctors are to blame for their double loss, writes BNT.

25-year-old Asya from Rakitovo had an easy pregnancy and regularly went to consultations.

This was to be her third child.

She went to the hospital yesterday around 4.30am with contractions.

The birth started normally.

Unexpectedly, however, during one of the contractions, the woman in labor lost her heart, breathing and brain activity and the doctors began to resuscitate her.

"Subsequently, the woman regained her vital signs. From then on, an operative delivery was also undertaken based on vital signs, but the baby was born, it was stillborn, the fetus was stillborn. There were nine doctors, with nurses, with midwives, with operating room attendants, with laboratory technicians, despite everything the result developed very quickly," said Dr. Dancho Gurdev, manager of MBAL- Velingrad.

For nearly three hours, doctors fought for the mother's life, but were unable to control internal bleeding, which they assumed was the result of rapidly developing DIC syndrome.

"DIK syndrome, what does this mean that the clotting factors are disturbed, the blood both clots and bleeds. You bear in mind that globally the mortality rate here is over 80%," explained Dr. Chavdar Kalachev, a surgeon at MBAL- Velingrad.

According to the relatives, however, there was no doctor on duty at the hospital who could immediately take care of the woman in labor.

"There was a nurse there who received us and there were no doctors. This nurse's name was Danche, there were no doctors except her," says Ivan Ovcharov, the husband of the woman in labor.
