CDD contains Nitrogen gas leakage in Salt’s Al Hussein Hospital

AMMAN — Director of Al Hussein Hospital in Salt Rami Abu Rumman on Sunday said that a nitrogen gas leakage in a cylinder in the hospital’s medical gas warehouse was detected at dawn, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 

Civil Defence Directorate (CDD) personnel were informed and arrived immediately at the hospital, Rumman added. 

He explained that nitrogen is used for long-duration anaesthesia and that the leakage occurred in one of the nine cylinders, not in the hospital's gas network.
