The health condition of ten out of eleven injured people hospitalized at the Bucharest Burn Victims Hospital, victims of the second explosion that happened on Sunday in Sighetu Marmaţiei, is stable.

“Three of them are hospitalized in Intensive Care, eight in the Divison of Burn Surgery. From the ones hospitalized in Intensive Care, there is one who is in critical condition, unfortunately with small chances of survival, with many dysfunctions”.

“The other two female patients in Intensive Care are unstable right now. The patients in the division have a good evolution at the moment. One of the patients, is scheduled for surgery today; there will be done skin grafting on the hands”, Cătălin Ciontu, the hospital’s spokesman, declared.

The health condition of the four patients hospitalized at Floreasca Hospital in Bucharest is also stable.

The Professor Ioan Lascăr said on Tuesday that one of the patients is in serious condition, with burns on 70 percent of his body.

“Our patients are stable in terms of biological constants and, obviously, in terms of the effect of the treatment in general“.

“We have a patient in critical condition, the one with the 70 percent of his body covered in burns of second and third degree; the other two patients – of moderate burns, with injures between 20 and 25 percent of body surface, but to whom we also associate, without doubt, a less obvious degree of affection of the upper respiratory tract than in the case of the patient in critical condition”, Ioan Lascăr said.

According to the Radio România Actualităţi redactors, more policemen and employees of the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations donated blood for the injured.

The investigation of the two blasts from two days ago that resulted in 21 injured people in Sighetu Marmaţiei continues. The prosecutors filed a suit against the company that distributes the gas in town.

At the same time, the specialists decided that the deflagrations were caused by a cracked gas pipe near the affected building.
