Inquest hears from specialist involved in fatal operation

An inquest into the death of a two-year-old boy during surgery at a Dublin hospital has heard that one of the specialists carrying out the procedure was not informed that the toddler's vital signs had changed during the operation.

Pierce Nowlan, a severe haemophiliac, died as a result of blood loss after one of his arteries was punctured by a needle during the surgery at Crumlin Children's Hospital in October 2004.
