Kingston Fire said it has sent two ambulances to Exeter Hospital following a report of a "chemical release" in the emergency room, according to the report.

NBC Boston reported that Union Leader's Jason Schreiber said the incident involves "20-plus patients," with multiple ambulances in route to what is being described as a "mass casualty incident."

Co2 is used to insufflate laparoscopic cases in the OR.

This could have been staffer error....or a co2 tank could have been accidently or intentionally cracked....

Don't know hoothat could have done much damage in a large ER though

I find it hard to believe that a hospital has no CO detector.

"Casualty" doesn't mean fatality, just means they were injured or affected by the event.

Someone who loses a leg is considered a casualty of war even if they don't die from the injuries.
