Anaesthesia given Instead Of Oxygen;Kids Die
An infant and a 5 year old boy died after they were allegedly given anaesthesia instead of oxygen at government-run Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital in Indore. Ayush,5, died during Hernia surgery on May 27, while Rajveer,1, was being operated for a deformity on May 28, in the hospital's recently inaugurated operation theatre. Initially the hospital failed to determine the cause but a probe revealed that the pipeline that was supposed to supply oxygen to patients was carrying nitrous oxide, an anesthetic agent.
