Leeds Children's Hospital - Important Treatment | S01 E20 | Medical Documentary | All Documentary

In Barnsley Hospital's A&E department, resus bed two is being prepped for its next critically ill patient. 56-year-old Elaine has been rushed into hospital gasping for breath. She has a tube in her neck to allow her to breathe, but it has become blocked. Doctors must react quickly to clear her airway. Over in Leeds Children's Hospital, paediatric day surgery bed three is looking after its first patient of the day. Five-year-old Edward has come in with his mum Steph. He is having an operation which will mark the end of his treatment for leukaemia. In Leicester Royal Infirmary's maternity unit, first time mum, 25-year-old Marcell, has been admitted two weeks ahead of her due date.
She is in the early stages of labour and her baby is moving less than normal, which means the baby's health may be at risk.

Back in Barnsley Hospital's A&E department, bed 12 is with 72-year-old David. He has been rushed in by ambulance having fallen six feet off a ladder and at his side is his wife of 50 years, Di. There is concern that he may have fractured his spine.

Secret Life of the Hospital Bed is a unique 20-part series where across the 60-minute episodes, fixed-rig cameras tell the story of patients who enter four different hospitals across the UK. The hospitals are The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, The Queen's Hospital in Romford, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and The Great Northern Children’s Hospital in Newcastle. The circumstances, the ailment, the treatment, the length of stay - everything is personal to the individual involved. But the one constant throughout is the bed.
