Laughing gas mix-up kills baby

A newborn baby has died after being given "laughing gas" instead of oxygen in a tragic mix-up at an Australian hospital which left another infant severely disabled, authorities said. A doctor raised the alarm after the baby boy died unexpectedly earlier this month, with tests revealing that an outlet in the wall at a Sydney Hospital was emitting nitrous oxide instead of oxygen. Another baby is fighting for her life after being wrongly administered the incorrect gas in June. The gas bungles come less than six months after it was revealed that dozens of cancer patients at another Sydney hospital were given the wrong chemotherapy dosages as long ago as 2012.
