A new-born baby who only survived for 36 hours died as a result of a catalogue of issues that "must be addressed urgently" by the Nottingham University Hospitals Trust (NUH), an inquest heard. Baby Quinn Lias Parker died on July 16 last year, just two days after he was born at the City Hospital.
His mum Emmie Studencki said she had been admitted to Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust's (NUH's) maternity units three times over concerns of heavy bleeding before baby Quinn Parker was born on July 14 last year. She told the inquest she had asked a midwife for an emergency Caesarean "and questioned why I couldn't have one".
Eventually, after Quinn's heart rate dropped an emergency Caesarean was performed - but when he was born he was "floppy and pale", the inquest heard. Delivery occurred at 7.08pm, by which time Quinn had suffered severe and life threatening asphyxia from which he could not recover. He died just before 7.55am on July 16 in his "parents' arms" at the neonatal intensive care unit.
