Fatal incident IV fluid and Air

An inquest has found the three-year-old died of a massive air embolism because her partly empty IV bag was respiked and used to administer saline fluids.

Queensland Ambulance Service was tasked by Retrieval Services Queensland to collect Ruby in Blackwater and transport her to Rockhampton, where she was pronounced dead at 8.40pm on August 9 2014, after her condition deteriorated during the flight.
