Oxygen tank flow meter cap bursts, injuring a female attendant at Kerala's Government Medical College Hospital.
A female attendant in the casualty department of the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH) in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, suffered a head injury after the cap of an oxygen cylinder flow meter burst and hit her forehead, hospital authorities said on Friday (February 6, 2026).
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. and no one else was injured, a hospital spokesperson said.
The female attendant is fine now, he said, adding that she probably did not handle the equipment properly, which led to the incident.
A similar incident had occurred at the MCH in May last year when a 21-year-old anaesthesia technician suffered a head injury when an oxygen cylinder flow meter he was trying to remove detached improperly and struck his forehead.
