Kahlani Rawson died at four days old on a neonatal unit at Nottingham's City Hospital
Earlier intervention could have changed the outcome in the case of a four-day-old baby who died on a maternity ward, an inquest heard.Nottingham Coroner's Court was told he died from a lack of oxygen and complications from placental abruption.
A triage midwife said it was "likely" she would have mentioned the baby not moving when briefing another midwife but could not be certain she had definitely done so. The hearing also heard that the midwife referenced a CTG scan as "sub-optimal" but said on reflection "abnormal" would have been more appropriate.The midwife also said she "should've dialled" the emergency 2222 number sooner after Ms Rawson lost more blood.The inquest was told the newborn was "pale, floppy and not breathing" and subsequently required resuscitation.
Kahlani's grandmother, Amy, issued a family impact statement which was read out by Dr Didcock and described the initial joy and excitement of the new arrival.
