A baby boy allegedly poisoned by Lucy Letby received two bags of intravenous feed contaminated with insulin, a court heard.
His blood sugar levels remained low throughout the following day shift even after the intravenous long line, and the connected bag, had to be replaced after swelling to the infant’s leg. Jurors have heard the TPN bags – both prescribed and stock – were kept in a locked fridge in a store room at the unit, along with insulin.
“Neo-natal fits as a result of very low blood sugar are associated with significant brain damage, those children are not normal and go on to have long term neuro-developmental problems.”
