Nurse facing inquiry after death of baby at Glasgow hospital
The Nursing and Midwifery Council is investigating claims Craig Wilson contributed to the death.
A nurse is facing an inquiry after a baby died in a Glasgow hospital.
Craig Wilson is alleged to have made an error that could have "caused or contributed" to the baby developing hypothermia.
The nurse was using a CPAP machine, which inflates a baby's lungs and helps to keep them open, while the infant was suffering from breathing problems at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital.
Mr Wilson is alleged to have failed to switch on a humidifier while using the machine which usually helps to avoid the baby developing nasal congestion.
His actions are alleged to have "contributed to a loss of opportunity for life."
The nurse is then alleged to have concealed the error by recording in the baby's notes that a humidifier had been turned on.
Mr Wilson faces being struck off the nursing register.
A CPAP machine is commonly used in premature babies but can also be used with adults.
The incident is alleged to have happened on August 14, 2013. No other details were given about the infant.
In a separate incident at Southern General Maternity Hospital on February 4 last year, the nurse is also alleged to have signed another baby's chart to say that a drug had been given, when it had not.
A spokeswoman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the nurse was no longer employed by the board.
The nurse is due to appear before a hearing of the Nursing and Midwifery Council next month.
