The coroner's concerns
1. lack of training/experience of nurse in charge to deal with an arrest/collapse
“Inability, lack of training/experience of nurse in charge to deal with an arrest/collapse of a patient. Clear panic in the face of an emergency.”
2. nurse leaving collapsed patient in care of untrained HCA
“Nurse leaving collapsed patient in care of untrained HCA whilst she made an unnecessary second phone call, she denied that there was a phone she could have used in his room.”
3. lack of knowledge about special bed which Mr Lee had
“Her lack of knowledge about the special bed which Mr [name redacted] had, which allowed CPR on the bed and her stating that she put Mr [name redacted] into the recovery position when he was semi recumbent, she did not flatten the bed and she did not do a mouth sweep to see if his airway was occluded by his tongue.”
