Hello, new here. I’ve been following this for some time. I’m currently on the fence and waiting to here what evidence comes out. Although initially, before the trial started, I was veering towards guilty due to the amount of time they’ve spent investigating and the fact CPS allowed charges.
So far with baby A, I have my doubts. Just been thinking about the air embolism, after reading up a little bit on them. I read an article which talked about management of air embolism, apparently they are not always immediately fatal. The article talked about positioning of the patient to prevent the air from moving to high risk places as an early management strategy. (Bubbles move to the highest point, picture a spirit level).
Wondering if it’s possible that during the 3 attempts to place the UVC, air could have been introduced accidentally (known risk of UVC placement). Could the air embolism kind of sat somewhere where it wasn’t causing huge issues until Lucy connected the fluids? At that point, with the fluids pushing the air “bubble” it could have moved, (possibly crossed the foremen ovale into the left side of the heart) then caused havoc.
