Children's hospital apologises for failings in care over death of toddler

Two-year-old girl died after she suffered a devastating brain injury after three cardiac arrests at what was then Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, court heard

Court heard a review carried out by the hospital of child's care and treatment during the days leading up to her death on July 16, 2016, identified failings in care, including a failure to consider sepsis as a differential diagnosis with the urinary tract infection.

Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin has apologised for failings in care to the family of a toddler who died at the hospital seven years ago.

Little Isla Casey-Fioravante was only two years and two months old, the High Court heard, when she died after she suffered a devastating brain injury after three cardiac arrests at what was then Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin.
