Medics at King's College Hospital decided to wait until the morning to reposition Ismail's breathing tube, the senior coroner said
Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab from Brixton was the first child in the UK known to have died with the virus in March 2020.His breathing tube was found to be in the wrong position but medics decided to wait for more staff to come on shift before adjusting it , the court heard. He did not survive the night and senior coroner Andrew Harris said an inquest in March would investigate whether the endotracheal tube should have been repositioned earlier.
