Dylan Brown, 2, was having an underlying cardiomyopathy. An echocardiogram (ECG) was required to be carried out, but it was not done on him that day as it was weekend.

This led to his death, an inquest heard. Dylan suffered three heart attacks and died. When asked from Nagi Barakat, a consultant, it was found that the test could not be done due to the weekend.

Moreover, the test is normally not done during the weekend. Doctors said Dylan was having complex medical history. All efforts were put in to resuscitate the toddler, but it has been found that his parents Kirk and Tara were not allowed in the room where resuscitation process was taking place.

Christine Mann, nursing service manager, was of the view that they have learnt a lot from this case. Therefore, she would not like to give any sort of explanation. She also feels that Dylan parents should have been allowed in the room throughout the resuscitation process.

Dr. Shankar Sridharan affirmed, "If someone called this weekend with the same information we would do the same thing. We wouldn't arrange an urgent transfer if there were no clinical signs". If ECG would have been done, then it would have proved beneficial and some drugs could have been suggested to improve Dylan's condition.
