A child died after injuries sustained during childbirth at Västervik Hospital. If a suction cup had been used earlier, the outcome could have been different, the region writes on its website.

The incident has been reported according to lex Maria and several measures have been taken at the hospital to ensure that something similar cannot happen again.

A suction cup was used, but could have been inserted earlier, the hospital's investigation has shown. The baby was affected when it was born and the staff had to perform resuscitation.

The child was stabilized, but later died of his injuries at Linköping University Hospital.
