Claim for damages brought on behalf of a boy born prematurely at Salisbury General Hospital in 2008. Shortly after birth, he received a tenfold overdose of pancuronium bromide (referred to hereafter as pancuronium), which is a muscle relaxant used to facilitate mechanical ventilation. It is alleged that this caused him to sustain significant brain damage which has resulted in cerebral palsy.
