Four alarms on a monitoring machine were silenced and then switched off before baby Louella Sheridan collapsed in a high dependency unit, it has been found.

Coroner John Pollard criticised Louella's treatment at Royal Bolton Hospital, its 'useless' subsequent investigations and concluded: "It's reasonable to conclude if the alarms had not been silenced on the monitor, they would have alerted staff to the collapse and they would have worked on her for some time and her life would have been extended albeit perhaps for a very short period."
