7 DEATHS AT ILL-EQUIPPED BOGURA HOSPITALSeven patients have died in 13 hours at a Bogura district hospital due to lack of oxygen and a limited number of nasal cannulas, according to the hospital administration. The hospital currently has only two high-flow nasal cannulas and they can only give oxygen to two patients at a time. Between 8 pm on Thursday and 9 am on Friday, seven COVID-19 patients died at the 250-bed Mohammad Ali Hospital in Bogura. Patients with an oxygen level below 90, but above 87 can recover with the use of rebreather masks. But it is difficult for any patient whose oxygen level falls below 87 to recover without the aid of an oxygen machine connected to a high-flow nasal cannula.
