Jodie McCann: Young mother died after failings by hospital staff

A hospital trust says it is 'truly sorry' for failings in the care of 22-year-old Jodie McCann

A young mother died after a series of failings in her care by hospital staff, an inquest has found.

After her condition improved, a breathing tube was removed on 28 March, but a tube had to be reinserted at 23:00 GMT that evening, a procedure described as "difficult". Elizabeth Didcock, assistant coroner for Nottinghamshire, said there was "appropriate diagnosis and management" of the gallstone pancreatitis at King's Mill Hospital, with no issues in her care "that caused or made a more than minimal contribution to [the] first arrest, or to her death".

She said the "challenging" reintubation procedure "should have been performed by the consultant at that time, or at least he or she should have supervised the junior team who attempted it", and highlighted the lack of a different type of bronchoscope on a trolley for treating difficult airways that affected the ability of a consultant to examine the patient once the tube was displaced.
