Newborn baby died after cardiac arrest brought on by rare medical condition - as inquest hears hospital blunder was not to blame

A newborn baby girl died after suffering a cardiac arrest caused by a rare medical condition, an inquest has heard.

A coroner was also told that a hospital blunder led to Naomi Dobrin being given a calcium overdose, but that it did not cause her death. The baby girl was just a day old when she tragically died at the Royal Oldham Hospital on August 29, 2021.

An inquest at Rochdale Coroner’s Court yesterday (Wednesday) heard she suffered an airflow issue known as bilateral tension pneumothorax, which caused her to suffer a cardiac arrest.
