INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Hyderabad: A minimum of eight patients, all in one row of beds in an extensive care system at the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences
(TIMS), died after a fall in pressure in the oxygen lines.There was simply one fortunate client in the same row who survived in the ICU on
the 2nd floor of TIMS, thanks to the fact that this client was not on non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
The NIV means that clients might be put on CPAP or BIPAP makers that force air into their lungs at a specific necessary pressure
According to sources at TIMS, internal checks exposed that since there were many patients on NIV at the hospital, the oxygen supply systems
and lines are unable to preserve the needed pressure.It might be recalled that TIMS had been in the eye of another storm just recently, over
supply of food on time to patients who were left to starve.
