Baby bled severely and died following vacuum-cup and forceps delivery, inquest hears

“I’ve never seen such damage to the liver and other organs resulting from what is a bleed, which was treated aggressively from early on. It should have worked,” the pathologist said.

A baby who became critically ill following an instrumental delivery developed bleeding so severe that doctors could not control it.

Baby Donatello Rapacka was born on July 20 2017 at the Coombe Hospital in Dublin and died five days later.
