Thiruvananthapuram: In an accident involving an oxygen cylinder flow meter, a 21-year-old anaesthesia technician working at the Thiruvananthapuram Government Medical College Hospital (MCH) sustained a head injury when the flow meter detached improperly and struck his forehead, hospital authorities said on Saturday.
A senior doctor at the medical college termed as incorrect media reports that the flow meter exploded and claimed that the technician probably did not remove it correctly, and therefore, it came off at high speed and hit him on the head, news agency PTI reported.
