Manchester Arena Inquiry: 'Window of opportunity' to help victim missed

A victim of the Manchester Arena attack probably would have survived if a "window of opportunity" to treat her was not missed, an inquiry has heard.

Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb in the venue's City Room foyer at about 22:30 BST on 22 May 2017.The inquiry has been told that Saffie-Rose, the youngest victim of the attack, arrived at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital 52 minutes after the explosion and went into cardiac arrest shortly after she entered the hospital's resuscitation room.

He said there had been a "window of opportunity to provide therapy for Saffie", which began in the foyer and with the emergency medical technician who tended to her. The inquiry has heard that an arena first-aider, who was trained to perform the role of EMT, assessed the youngster as she was lying on the floor, but moved on to assist other casualties as she thought Saffie-Rose was not breathing and did not have signs of catastrophic bleeding.Paul Greaney QC, counsel to the inquiry, asked Dr Davies what impact the measures he suggested would have had on the young girl's "survivability".
