A young man named Rahib Reza died of cardiac arrest while undergoing an endoscopy due to stomach gas problem at the private Lab Aid Hospital of Dhanmondi in the capital. He was working in an IT company in the capital. Relatives alleged that anesthesia was administered to Rahib Reza without seeing the test report at Lab Aid Hospital. Endoscopy is performed in physical complications. Due to which he suffered a cardiac arrest and eventually died due to complications. However, the doctor says that he was not informed about the patient’s pre-existing physical complications.
Talking to the relatives, it is known that the patient was advised to undergo an endoscopy on February 15 by the founding head of the Department of Interventional Hepatology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and the former chairman of the Department of Hepatology. Mamun Al Mahtab is a dreamer. As per his advice, that evening Rahib waited outside the lab aid hospital in Dhanmondi. His examination started around 11 pm. After about an hour and a half they found the patient unconscious. When his condition worsened, he was taken to Lab Aid’s ICU. Doctors declared him dead on Monday (February 19) morning after being under treatment for three days.
The family alleged that the doctors and team responsible for Rahib’s death were negligent. Otherwise, he would not have died like this while doing a simple test. Especially Dr. Mamun Al Mahtab Sapneel cannot avoid responsibility in any way. After talking to the doctors of other hospitals, I understood that this happened due to giving anesthesia without seeing the report.
Last Friday, Facebook influencer Rafsan wrote in a post on his Facebook that his close friend Rahib is now fighting ‘to death’ at Lab Aid Hospital ‘probably’ due to the doctor’s wrong treatment. He is currently on full-on life support. Lab Aid Hospital has to answer this.
Professor Dr. Speech of Mamun Al Mahtab Swapneel
Professor Dr. Bangla Tribune spoke to Mamun Al Mahtab.
Narrating the incident, he said, ‘The patient had a problem, he came to me with ‘fatty liver’. I advised him to have an endoscopy. When I recommend an endoscopy I give the option of doing both. One is not to sleep, do it awake. Usually people agree to sleep. It is difficult for those who are a little healthy not to sleep. Because they can’t tolerate tubes. After saying these things, the patient agreed to sleep. We agreed and slept that day. We do not use any anesthesia during sedation. We give sleeping pills. At Lab Aid, we have oxygen and monitors with the patient when they are asleep. My endoscopy took less than a minute. There were some normal observations and saturation was good. On the table on which the patient is brought for endoscopy, we send the patient to the observation room.

Highlighting the condition after the endoscopy, Professor Mamun Al Mahtab said, ‘After being sent there, the nurse on duty told us that the patient’s condition was bad after putting on the monitor. Apart from me there are seven to eight people always in my team including two doctors and three nurses to monitor. We rushed there, tried to revive the patient, took whatever measures were necessary. After a while I saw the patient’s saturation returned, blood pressure was available but consciousness did not return. Meanwhile, pressure and oxygen saturation drop again. Then I looked for the patient’s family. Then I found an attendant with the patient. He introduced me to the patient’s partner and colleague. When he was told about the patient, he said that he should talk to the patient’s sister at home. I said – you contact home but the patient’s condition is getting worse, we are taking him to ICU. We took the patient to ICU with oxygen support. There I saw that he had a cardiac arrest.
Referring to the patient’s saturation and pulse in the ICU, he said, ‘Then we put the patient on ventilator (life support). I went out to see the patient at 2 am that night. Finished my chamber early in the morning and went out to see the patient again. I went to Dinajpur for a day. Although I was supposed to return after another day, I changed the ticket and came back at night to see the patient. Cardiologist Dr. that day. Dr. Sohrab Uz Zaman, kidney specialist. Dr. Moniruzzaman, ICU in charge. Farooq, professor of neuro medicine Ashraf Ali, professor of medicine Ghalib and former director of chest hospital, professor Dr. Saidul Islam saw the patient. Talked to the patient’s family, informed about the patient’s condition. Nothing is kept secret. Patient’s family asked for medical board, on Saturday I asked for medical board. I was in the medical board meeting on Saturday afternoon. There the patient’s family has been informed about everything. They understood everything. Maqbool Saheb, a relative of the patient, told me after the board meeting – ‘We are very sorry if you have suffered any of our use, just make sure that the effort is not reduced in the case of the patient. We are satisfied with your efforts.’
The patient was brain dead on Sunday (February 18) morning. At this time, the patient’s family was informed about ‘clinical death’. Mamun Al Mahtab said, ‘I told them, you can put it in the machine and take it out if you want. The patient’s mother told us – even if it is a miracle, we will continue the machine. Yesterday Monday morning, the patient’s organ failed.
Later, the doctor said that some history of the patient was taken. He said, ‘I found out that the patient already had sleep apnea or suffocation during sleep. The patient had septicemia (infection of the lungs with blood), which was due to an infection in the body. None of this information was given to us. Blood count was high, possibly from a lung infection; This was also not communicated to us. Due to diabetes many times infection is not understood, maybe that is why we are not told. I do not blame the patient for this. Maybe he didn’t realize they needed to be said. A sleep apnea test requires a person to sleep overnight in a hospital with a machine.
Referring to his 20 years of experience in the medical field, he said, ‘Here we have tried our best.’
Statement of Lab Aid Authority
When asked about the complaint, Lab Aid Group Public Relations Officer Chowdhury Meher-e-Khoda told Bangla Tribune, ‘We got the patient after cardiac arrest. He came for endoscopy. He had a cardiac arrest on the endoscopy table. Then he was admitted to ICU. We actually got the patient after cardiac arrest. He died 72 hours after admission to the ICU. We have not received any complaint against us so far.’
