A doctor’s ‘hunch’ helped point to the possible cause of death of a newborn who was ventilated with nitrous oxide from a gas port labelled “oxygen” in a Sydney hospital, a coroner’s court has heard. 

The inquest into newborn John Ghanem, who died just under an hour after he was born in July 2016, began on Monday in the NSW Coroner’s Court.
