Despite the mishap, the patient fully recovered and was discharged after 15 days. Although the medical error in the present case was non-harmful, the treating doctor discussed the case with the patient. Conclusion: A case with inadvertent intravenous administration of carboprost in a COVID-19-positive parturient is reported with a good outcome. |
