Mr Myers asks him to spell out what an excessive amount of adrenaline could do to a neonate - he says that it can cause increased heart rate, blood pressure and have an adverse effect on lactic acidosis
I'd be more inclined to wonder why the baby collapsed and required adrenaline in the first instance
Don't understand this from Myers, he was given the adrenaline after the collapse so it could hardly be the cause of it?Dan O'Donoghue

I'm sure there was some question about how much adrenaline Baby O had too, Doctor Gibbs asked LL and she wasn't sure if it was 3 or 4Dan O'Donoghue

The judge seeks some clarification from the witness. He says that if Child P had been given excessive adrenaline, you would expect to see the effect within 10/15mins
I agree, and if excess of the normal dose of adrenaline was eventually given in the face of moribundity, that is with the intention of getting a heart beating, and securing something of a blood pressure for the perfusion of vital organs, surely? Acidosis could then be treated?
This is just my opinion.
Hi can a collapsed lung cause a sudden collapse?I tend to agree. You know, thinking back I don't think I ever saw resus fail except where there was a profound underlying problem such as a heart defect, or in one case Group B Strep infection at birth. I remember the last one because we worked on this child for a couple of hours to no avail. Nobody's worrying about how many doses of adrenaline are given if it's that or death.
