Sick babies at risk from lack of breathing tube monitoring

Sick babies at risk from lack of breathing tube monitoring Some intensive care units are putting sick babies at risk by not monitoring breathing tubes correctly, according to a study which interviewed staff at hospitals across the country.

This could lead to death or serious harm to babies from lack of oxygen, the researchers said.

Doctors needed to be better prepared and have the best equipment to place breathing tubes safely, they said.

The charity Bliss urged hospitals to act on the recommendations. BBC News
