MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “The things from the clinical point of view of the 7 patients admitted are fine. The metabolic and circulation-related respiratory situation is going well in all patients and this is important in the early stages. We have prepared the staff for the operating rooms, today tomorrow and after, continuously, to cure the burns and avoid infections. The surgical part is continuing this morning and the interventions will continue.” Filippo Galbiati, Director of Emergency Medicine and ER at the Niguarda Hospital in Milan, said this, talking about the conditions of young people injured during the tragedy in Crans Montana, Switzerland, on the New Year’s Eve. At the moment seven patients are admitted to the Milan hospital, an eighth person should arrive in the day. “Our management and regional authorities have asked us to make even more beds available because, beyond the arrival of the girl and the others we are considering in Switzerland with our team, we have also asked for additional beds for any needs of the Swiss authorities. The beds are there and we are ready to welcome other patients. We have a growing plan to expand the number beyond the 16 already guaranteed places.”.
BERTOLASO “IN ARRIVO LA 15ENNE SOFIA”
“Today we have a arrival from Lausanne and is definitely the most serious and most serious patient: It is called Sofia 15 years old and should arrive at the end of the morning, but it depends on the weather. Fortunately, we had the authorization to carry it by helicopter here in Niguarda. This is the only expected arrival for today because the other three patients who have been visited by our team have been declared untranslatable, namely the two Italian boys and the Swiss citizen. We are therefore waiting for their conditions to improve and likely on January 6-7 may be transferred.” This was said by the Councillor at the Welfare Region Lombardy Guido Bertolaso updating on the conditions of young people injured during the tragedy occurred in Crans Montana in Switzerland and admitted to the hospital Niguarda in Milan.
“Today therefore the air bridge stops with the arrival of Sofia and waiting to have the possibility of being allowed to bring the other Italians – added the city council member – If the Swiss, as it seems, had to ask us to welcome other patients, we have already given the availability.” “Recapturing: a girl arrives today, while three others we had already identified could arrive, but are not transportable. And then there are two Italian boys, but they have not yet been identified with certainty. They are the two most serious cases and are located in the burn center of Zurich,” explained the Councillor stressing that “we have reasonable hope that they are Italian, but we still have to do the tests with the DNA test, they have the face completely covered by the medications, they are intubated and therefore they cannot speak for which you have to wait”. At the moment they are admitted to the hospital Niguarda in seven, to which Sofia is added on arrival in the day.
