AN MP IS CALLING FOR A LAW REQUIRING BREATHALYSERS AT THE ENTRANCE TO OPERATING THEATRES MEDICAL workers should take a breath test before entering an operating theatre, an MP says. The call


follows the death last year in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques of a woman aged 28 during a caesarean – her anaesthetist later admitted to having been drinking. MP for Oise, Picardy, Lucien Degauchy


has tabled a proposed law which would make blowing into a breath test obligatory. He says such a law would have saved the woman’s life. “I’ve been breath-tested as a driver dozens of times


and found it perfectly normal,” he told France Info. “When it comes to saving lives we have to accept a certain discipline.” However a union for anaesthetists, Bloc, called the proposal


“ridiculous” and said people being drunk in the operating theatre is not a widespread problem and the woman’s death was an exceptional case. Photo: Sébastien / fotolia.com
