A technical failure left a children's ventilation unit without electricity, prompting emergency relocations to ensure patient safety.

The power outage occurred on Saturday evening at a children's ventilation station in Essen, affecting 16 young patients.
Due to the outage, immediate internal relocations were made within the hospital to secure continued care.
A six-month-old baby was transferred in an incubator to the University Hospital Essen for precautionary reasons.
Four other children were relocated by ambulance to a medical facility in Gelsenkirchen.
Despite the disruption, no adverse health effects were reported for any of the children involved.
