　　Health authorities are investigating a hospital in Xianxian County of Hebei Province, where a newborn baby died in an incubator after a power failure cut off its heat and oxygen supply for about five hours, local media reported.

　　The baby boy's mother gave birth on December 2 at the Xianxian Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The boy looked strong but with his face looked pale, the doctor sent him to an incubator for oxygen therapy, the parents told Yanzhao Metropolis Daily.

　　But the next day, a power blackout occurred at the hospital from 1:40am to 6:30am, cutting off oxygen and heat to the incubator, the parents told the newspaper.

　　The baby's father, Li Dabing, said he was worried whether the baby would catch cold in the incubator when the power failure occurred, but a nurse told him not to worry, as power is usually restored after an hour.

　　"I was thinking about taking my baby out of that incubator, but the nurse wouldn't help remove the medical equipment, such as tubes, from his body," Li told the newspaper. "I feared that the baby may catch cold there as even I felt cold in cotton-padded clothes."

　　They waited until the hospital restored power after a worker started the emergency electricity generation system.

　　The parents said the baby was then found suffering symptoms of exposure to cold, as his face appeared very red, he had a fever and kept sneezing in the incubator.

　　The baby was pronounced dead last Wednesday, three days after it was born.

　　"I believe the death of my son is directly related to the hospital's power failure and the cutting off of the oxygen supply," Li said. "As a public hospital, how can the medical workers restore power five hours after the blackout started?"

　　A hospital vice director surnamed Luo said that the poor condition of the hospital's facilities was to blame for the five-hour-long power failure.

　　12月3日1时40分，献县妇幼保健院突然停电，6时30分才启动应急发电。保温箱里一名新生男婴“苦捱”5小时后，出现发烧、打喷嚏等感冒症状。4日，男婴突然呼吸困难，并于5日凌晨在保温箱里死亡。家属称，停电期间医护人员未采取有力措施，婴儿死亡后医院也不能出具相关的护理记录。目前，献县卫生局已介入调查。

　　医院停电新生儿保温箱苦捱5小时

　　12月2日2时50分，献县产妇李素轩在献县妇幼保健院顺利产下一名足月男婴，孩子出生时7斤6两，体长50厘米，很壮实。由于分娩时婴儿伴有面色青紫的情况，接产医生建议把孩子送到保温箱里输两天氧气。

　　3日1时40分，献县妇幼保健院突然停电，李素轩的丈夫李大兵担心孩子受凉，主动来到新生儿科病房，看望放在保温箱里的儿子。当时他问护士什么时候能来电，护士说大约一个小时，他只好抱来两床小被子给孩子盖上，又不住地用手搓孩子的小手小脚。

　　一个小时过去了，仍没有来电，李大兵再次询问护士，对方说设备坏了，让再等等。“刚一停电的时候，另一位家长[微博]就把自己生黄疸的孩子从保温箱里抱走了。那时我也想把我的孩子从保温箱里抱出来，但他脑袋和鼻子上都插着管子，护士不出来拔针，我只好让他在里面呆着。”李大兵说，整个夜晚新生儿科病房里只有他和孩子两个人，他不敢合眼，始终守在孩子身边，“我穿着棉衣都觉得很冷，就担心孩子被冻坏了。”直到3日6时30分左右，医院才有工人启动了应急发电程序。“作为一个国家定点医院，停电了要等5个小时才有行动，怎么说也说不过去。”李大兵一家对此很有意见。

　　婴儿感冒呼吸困难出生3天死亡

　　更大的不幸随之降临，李大兵说，儿子于3日上午出现了感冒症状。“停电之前，保温箱里的室温是29℃，来电后医生为了让孩子尽快暖和起来，把温度调到了31℃。”李大兵说，但即便这样，孩子还是满脸通红，不停地打喷嚏，一量体温还发起了烧。对此，医生采取了输液治疗。

　　4日上午，李大兵的母亲和岳母突然发现给孩子输氧的氧气瓶“不冒泡”了，两位老人赶紧叫来了医生。“大夫说，输氧管道里早就没有氧气了，又给孩子换了一小罐氧气。”李大兵的岳母说。　4日下午，孩子突然出现呼吸困难的症状，每喘一口气小肚子都要塌下一大块，李大兵按照医生的嘱咐，买来两瓶滴鼻净。“用完滴鼻净孩子就吐了，但大夫说没事了，说孩子情况挺平稳。”李大兵说。到了5日凌晨4时，李大兵的岳母忽然发现孩子肚子鼓得像个小皮球，再一摸孩子的鼻子发现已经没有呼吸了。

　　献县卫生局称已介入调查

　　“医院先是停电，后来又断氧，我认为孩子的死和医院有直接关系。”李大兵说，孩子去世后，新生儿科所有的医生护士都不来上班了，他向医院索要孩子住院期间的护理记录，也被告知“一级(病危)以下的病人都没有。”“医院就给了我们一张2日孩子出生时的单子，3日至5日所有的病例、护理情况等统统都不给。”李大兵说，他几次与院方交涉，至今没有结果。

　　12月8日上午，记者跟随李大兵及其家人，见到了献县妇幼保健院的两位副院长。一位姓罗的副院长表示，按照程序家属有三条解决途径，“协商、尸检、起诉”。协商不成，只能走下面的两项程序。对于家属反映的医院停电后没有应急预案，输氧过程中又断了氧气等情况，罗副院长表示“医院的条件就这样”。

　　8日下午，献县卫生局办公室主任董树正表示事情发生后，献县卫生局非常重视，主管领导已赶到献县妇幼保健院处理此事。目前，该事件还在进一步调查。（英文来源：中国网）
