Lucy Letby trial told ‘certain’ babies can dislodge their breathing tubes

‘Certain’ babies are capable of dislodging their own breathing tubes, a nurse has told the retrial of Lucy Letby. Ex-nurse Letby, 34, is on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of displacing the tube of a baby girl which is said to have led to a sudden deterioration in her condition during a night shift at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neo-natal unit.

“Yes,” said Ms Williams. Mr Myers said: “And babies are capable of dislodging tubes, do you agree?” Ms Williams replied: “Certain babies, yes.” Mr Myers said: “If they are active they can dislodge them?” Mr Myers drew attention to a witness statement previously made by Ms Williams in which she said she re-entered nursery one and recalled Dr Jayaram asking ‘What’s happened? How as this happened?’ and she replied ‘I don’t know, I was with the parents’.
