For me it is nothing to do with the notes why I feel the jury are correct. It is a big jigsaw of evidence all pointing one way. For example this blood sugar reading. 2.6 is considered normal.
table, created by Professor Hindmarsh, records all of Child F's blood sugar readings from 11.32pm on August 4 to 9.17pm on August 5.
They are: 5.5 (August 4, 11.32pm)
0.8 (August 5, 1.54am)
2.3 (2.55am)
1.9 (4.02am)
2.9 (5am)*
1.7 (8.09am)
1.3 (10am)
1.4 (11.46am)
2.4 (noon)
1.9 (2pm)
1.9 (4pm)
1.9 (6pm)
2.5 (7pm)
4.1 (9.17pm)
Guess who took the 5am reading? Funny that.
ading of 'above 2.6' is considered 'normal'.
Professor Hindmarsh says the hypoglycaemia is "persistent" right through the day until the conclusion of the TPN bag at 6.55pm.
*The 5am reading of 2.9, which the court hears is considered a 'normal' blood sugar reading, is gone into further detail. Mr Johnson asks the court to show the intensive care chart for Child F for August 5. For the 5am reading, the blood sugar reading signature has the initials 'LL'.
The chart also shows Professor Hindmarsh's notes to provide context for the blood sugar readings throughout the day, when changes are made to the infusions for Child F. Professor Hindmarsh says the hypoglycaemia continues "despite" five boluses of 10% dextrose and "ongoing" glucose delivery from the 10% dextrose infusion, and the glucose contained within the TPN bag. He says that would, in total, give a glucose infusion which would be, at minimum, "twice the normal [daily] requirements of a baby". He said it is likely more glucose was being delivered from the bolus injections.
Professor Hindmarsh had noted three events during August 5, after 1.54am, when the TPN bag was administered.
At 10am, there were problems with the cannula infusion which meant the line had to be resited, and fluids were discontinued. The two further glucose readings after are '1.4' and '2.4', "implying" that the blood glucose level had started to rise "spontaneously" as there was "no contribution from the intravenous route".
Etc etc if anyone fancies reading the court transcript
