Aaron Cullen died five days later on May 9, 2016 a after being born in an unresponsive state.
An inquest has heard difficulties in ventilating a baby boy after he was delivered in Laois were not a factor in his death.
Aaron Cullen, died five days later on May 9, 2016 at the Coombe Hospital in Dublin where he had been transferred for specialist care after being born in an unresponsive state in Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.
The reopening of the inquest was requested by the baby’s mother, Claire Cullen, after she obtained documents under freedom of information legislation indicating a nurse had raised concerns about efforts to resuscitate Aaron in the immediate aftermath of his birth.
Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane recorded a narrative verdict in line with detailed, complex medical evidence heard including the cause of death determined on postmortem.
The original postmortem attributed the cause of death as renal vein thrombosis due to acute and chronic lack of oxygen to several organs.
Aaron's Mother said she left the court knowing she did everything in her power to offer her son the dignity and respect he deserved.
