The GMC Dean along with other doctors claims that there is enough oxygen available and that wrong information is being given contrary to the same.
Good, if this is true. Medical oxygen is a common but critical requirement for any hospital.
Enough oxygen means, doctors know how much oxygen a covid patient needs at all stages of infection.
They should now have a fair estimate of how much oxygen will be required in the next 30 days. They must be having a day to day schedule of oxygen demand and must now prepare for the third wave.
Purity of all medical oxygen needs to be checked to ensure that it is not medical air. All this is simple math and has to be put in practice.
We all know how our government works and solves problems by merely ‘speaking them away’. We saw it with regards to Mhadei water diversion and with this pandemic too with words like 'there is nothing to fear'.
Hospitals use medical air for calming patients before surgery, for operating ventilators and calibration of medical instruments.
The public would also like to know at what flow rates critical Covid patients were treated and how many were cured. WHO says those with cytokine shock need 60 LPM medical oxygen.
