Bulbul Kudiyam, a five-year-old girl, diagnosed with severe pneumonia, died on Monday after the cylinder attached to her ventilator support ran out of oxygen while she was being shifted to another hospital 160 kms away in Chhattisgarh, says a report in the Hindustan Times.
The oxygen in the cylinder ran out by the time the ambulance reached Tokapal village in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh and Bulbul was declared dead on arrival by doctors at the Jagdalpur Medical College Hospital.
“Generally it requires one oxygen cylinder to shift patients from Bijapur to Jagdalpur. We will investigate how it got exhausted so quickly,” an official was quoted as saying.
