Dr Jayaram was challenged about why he had not confronted Letby about her behaviour. He said it was "not appropriate" to raise concerns in medical notes. He said concerns were raised after this incident, and faith was put in senior management, and they were told it was unlikely anything was going on, and to see what happens. He said in hindsight, he wished they had bypassed management.
He could not remember the transport team note where he had written 'baby dislodged tube'. He said it was "highly unlikely" Child K had dislodged the ET Tube.
He accepted the note Child K had been sedated after the desaturation, but denied altering his account to fit the evidence. He said he had not seen the swipe data for timings.
Letby, in interview, said she could only remember Child K because of her size. She did not recall Child K's tube slipping or any collapse. She agreed she thought Joanne Williams would not have left Child K alone if Child K was not stable. She could not remember if the alarm was silent, but agreed it should have sounded if Child K was desaturating.
She thought it possible she was seeing if Child K was self-correcting.
In evidence, she said she did not have independent memory of Child K other than her being a tiny baby.
She said although she had no memory of it, she said she would have waited 10-20 seconds to see if Child K self-corrected, as that was "common practice".
Elizabeth Morgan said, in agreed evidence, it was possible for an ET Tube to be dislodged in an unsedated and active baby, and a nurse would not leave the child alone in this situation if the baby was not settled. She said it would be 'good practice' to observe the baby immediately and take corrective action if necessary if a baby of this gestational age had begun to desaturate. She believed it would not be normal practice to 'wait and see', in a child of this gestational age, with the lungs so underdeveloped.

At 6.15am and 7.30am, Child K desaturated again, and it was noted the ET Tube had dislodged again in the second event. Letby was on duty.
The transport team arrived for Child K, who required several rounds of treatment to stabilise her. She left, having been stabilised, at 12.50pm. The prosecution say Child K was a settled baby who would not dislodge the tube.
There was no record of an ET Tube dislodgement at Arrowe Park.
Child K died on February 20, 2016. The cause of death was extreme prematurity with severe respiratory distress syndrome.

Letby, in further interview, said she had no memory of Child K's ET Tube slipping, and suggested it had not been secured initially. She accepted searching for Child K's mother's name, but could not recall why.
In evidence, she said she had nothing to do with the events at 6.15am and 7.25am. she agreed she had no reason to be in room 1 at 7.25am.
She said she looked up the name for the mother as "you still think of patients you care for".
She said the night was a "busy shift".
The judge says the prosecution accept they cannot prove Letby's actions caused Child K's death, but say she attempted to kill her.
