The coroner's concerns
1. delayed antibiotic intervention for high risk infection
“He was known to be at high risk of fatal infection and had developed symptoms 2 days before death and definitive proof of infection by the late afternoon of 2nd July, but it was not clear whether there was a plan for antibiotic intervention and no treatment was begun that day.”
2. delayed amikacin administration
“When in septic shock in the early hours of 3rd, three antibiotics were prescribed and our initial death report indicated treatment had begun before he died. But the medical records available to the inquest did not confirm when Amikacin was actually administered. Evidence of a consultant physician was that it needed to be within an hour.”
