Air embolism attempt.
Method alleged: Deliberate administration of air via an IV line.
Prosecution experts: Dr Dewi Evans; Dr Sandie Bohin.
Panel: collapsed from thrombotic emboli originating from a central intravenous catheter, potentially aggravated by maternal anti-phospholipid syndrome. No evidence of air embolism.
No fatal outcome — Baby 2 survived. Panel conclusion: she collapsed from thrombotic emboli originating from a central intravenous catheter, potentially aggravated by the mother's anti-phospholipid syndrome; there was no evidence to support air embolism. On the day of the collapse she had a kinked and impacted long venous line that was not heparinised. Her D-dimer was 6219 (normal range 220–500 ng/ml) and her platelets were low at 103 — both indicative of thrombosis.
