A doctor tells a court of his findings after examining a baby allegedly murdered by nurse Lucy Letby.
A line of gas in front of the spine was an "unusual finding" on the post-mortem X-ray of a baby allegedly murdered by nurse Lucy Letby, her trial has heard.
Looking at one of the post-mortem X-rays, he highlighted to the court there was gas within the bowel, he said a normal feature, and also the heart.Dr Arthurs replied: "You can also see a line of gas just in front of the spine. That is an unusual finding." Dr Arthurs said he could not say from the image alone that an air embolism, a gas bubble which enters a blood vessel, was the cause of Child A's death.The court previously heard that Child A did not have intravenous fluids for up to four hours on 8 June before he received glucose through a "long line" plastic tube at 20:05, shortly after the Ms Letby came on duty.
Mr Johnson asked: "Have you ever seen this much gas in a baby that has not been explained?" to which Dr Arthurs replied: "Only in one other case."When Mr Johnson said: "One of the other children in this case?", the doctor replied: "That's right."
