Fabiana Zopelli, Schoolgirl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 12-year-old girl who ‘was a friend to everyone’ and ‘had a smile that lit up every room she entered’\u00a0passed away just days following the development of complications linked to\u00a0Covid-19, an inquest heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabiana Zoppelli, who had the rare genetic disorder floating-harbor syndrome, contracted a ‘minor cough’ on June 1 before falling seriously ill with the virus last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schoolgirl’s mother, Itohan Ehiggie had called doctors on June 3 after Fabiana developed a rash and started vomiting and she was taken to the A&E department at the Royal Oldham Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Fabiana, who was described as a ‘generally healthy’ child, tested positive for Covid on June 5, a decision was made to transfer the schoolgirl to Manchester Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As her temperature reading and oxygen\u00a0became\u00a0increasingly ‘harder to maintain’\u00a0medics there agreed the schoolgirl should be referred to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she was\u00a0leaving the hospital on a mobile ventilator on June 7, Fabiana went into cardiac arrest and\u00a0tragically died.\u00a0A two-day inquest into Fabiana’s death started at Rochdale Coroner’s Court on October 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It heard how on Fabiana took a PCR test and was placed on an oxygen machine on arrival at hospital on June 3. As her condition deescalated, she was put on life support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It became clear the equipment was not working and a decision was to be made to transfer Fabiana to Manchester Children’s Hospital after her positive result.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was ventilated again on her arrival at the Paediatric Intensive Care unit on June 6. The doctors said that her temperature was reading 40\u00b0<\/strong>C and her oxygen became more ‘harder to maintain’. A nurse also noted how she looked ‘pale and tired’ through the glass window to her bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medics agreed the schoolgirl should be referred to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool to be placed on a xtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine. The treatment would help with cardiac and respiratory support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, while she was leaving hospital on a mobile ventilator on June 7, she went into cardiac arrest and died. One doctor described her case as the worst he had seen in a child throughout the entire pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the inquest, her mother, Mrs Ehiggie, said Fabiana enjoyed music, food and helping others. She told the court her daughter would ‘always offer a helping hand’ to those in need, particularly younger children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
