Failure of the medical gas distribution system and leakage could lead to casualties and property damage in the hospital premises. As a reason, employees in all the wards must prepare for immediate response in an internal disaster.
From poor technical support to inferior quality products, anything can trigger medical gas leaks in a hospital. Identifying the signs and effects of gas leaks is a priority to ensure a safe medical practice. To reduce the risks of hazards associated with medical gas storage, watch out for common causes of leaks.
Non-fitting accessories
When filling up the cylinder with compressed medical gases, the valve and other components in the structure must well fit the equipment. Unsuitable sizes of the adapter, ventilators, and pressure gauges could set off the gas inadvertently through a procedure. Checking the gas analyzer and return of the flow is an effective way to prevent the gaseous material from leaking. Purchase top-quality accessories and flow meters from reputable medical gas suppliers specializing in medical gas maintenance and installation.
Leaking vents
Pressurized medical gases such as oxygen and nitrogen usually come through a piping system that covers most areas in the hospital. Meanwhile, nitrous oxide and other anesthetic gases may need cylinders to distribute them to patient wards for specific purposes. When plugging the hose into the supplier, the user could make a mistake by not providing enough push. Although the connection looks perfect, there could be void areas in the nozzle. Such negligence can lead to leakage that is not easy to detect.
Not deploying trained staffs
Medical professionals and health workers may know how to medical gases while treating their patients, but it does not mean that everyone is adapted to technical support. Wrong hose connection due to the lack of knowledge in color code can result in untoward incidents. If someone without fundamentals of medical gas safety tries to plug into the hose, an experienced person must assist the user whenever there is a need for medical gas. For instance, trained staff must be present in the room when a medical practitioner wants to open or shut the gas for a particular use.
Failure of alarm system
The medical gas distribution system must have an alarm system that indicates the leakage in the valve. However, such an alarm panel is a sensitive device that can unnecessarily signal warnings fluctuations in the flow of gases. That means the alarm can go off whenever there is a small disturbance in the machine even though there is no actual leakage. If the hospital employees hear the alarm sound, there may be a distraction that can comprise their safety guidelines.
In medical gas emergencies, ignition sources in the hospital could result in further damages. Get professional help to install a medical gas distribution system with safety assurance.
