At least 24 patients die of oxygen deprivation in Indian hospital after oxygen supply equipment leaks
A hospital in Maharashtra, India, suffered a leak from an oxygen storage tank on Wednesday, causing the deaths of 24 patients who were using ventilators to breathe oxygen.
Maharashtra state health officials said the incident occurred in a hospital in Nashik (Nashik). The oxygen storage facility where the leak occurred was supplying oxygen to patients on ventilators, and the leak led to a tragic reduction or loss of oxygen supply. Patients at the hospital had previously complained to the hospital about the lack of pressure in the oxygen supply.
Maharashtra is currently the most affected region in India. Since the second wave of the outbreak in India in early March, the state’s hospitals have seen a surge in patients, resulting in a severe shortage of oxygen, beds and other medical resources.
