Nurse convicted trial last year of murders of seven babies and attempted murders of six others between 2015 and 2016Letby is on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of deliberately displacing the youngster’s breathing tube while she worked on a night-shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit.
He told the court: “At this time, we had had a number of unusual incidents with babies, and a number of colleagues and myself had noted the association with Lucy Letby being present at these things.“I stood up and walked in. I saw on the screens that oxygen saturations were dropping. They were in the low 80s and going downwards.
He went on: “I didn’t look to see whether the button that can cause the alarm to be suspended was pressed but the saturations were going down and continued to go down. Dr Jayaram said he also disconnected Child K from the ventilator and attempted to breathe air into her via a bag and mask but he said “she didn’t pick up and the chest didn’t move either”.Dr Jayaram said: “That’s almost a reflex, really. A bit like doing an emergency stop in your car.”
He said: “She picked up extremely quickly. Her colour improved, her saturations improved, I could see her chest was moving normally. That was a relief.”
