Oxygen equipment failure in an Indian hospital kills 24 patients with new crowns

For some patients with new crown pneumonia, it's important to rely on a ventilator to keep them alive due to lung infections. But, recently a hospital in India did such an oops. Construction workers accidentally damaged the hospital's power lines during construction, causing a sudden power outage throughout the hospital. Family members of the patients said that the ventilators that helped keep the patients with New Crown Pneumonia alive also stopped working unexpectedly, leading to the unfortunate deaths of two patients due to lack of oxygen. It's unbelievable.

According to the Times of India, which reported on Sept. 23, the accident occurred on the morning of Sept. 22, local time. An engineering team was working on a public hospital in Rubl, India, when workers accidentally damaged the hospital's power lines, causing an unexpected blackout. That's when the blood oxygen levels of two patients with new coronary pneumonia suddenly and dramatically dropped, and they died not long afterward.

The families of the deceased said that the patients had been slowly recovering before, which is to say that the situation took a sharp turn for the worse after the hospital's sudden power outage. They suspect that a power failure caused the ventilator to go on strike.

In this regard, a spokesman for the hospital said the power cut at the hospital started at 11 a.m. on the 22nd and lasted for about 40 minutes. Immediately after the power outage, the hospital activated a backup generator, and the patients who relied on the ventilators did not stop getting oxygen. The two patients with neocoronavirus pneumonia died suddenly because their condition was so severe that they died of complications from neocoronavirus pneumonia.

But the families of the deceased did not accept the hospital's explanation, saying that the power outage at the hospital lasted for more than 40 minutes and began at 10:30 a.m. and lasted for about three hours. A family member of the deceased said: ? With the help of the ventilator, the patient's condition improved significantly that day. After the sudden blackout, the patient's blood oxygen level began to drop. Later they brought oxygen cylinders, but they were useless and the patient finally went away.?
