Niguarda: Prognosis Remains Guarded for 11 Crans‑Montana Patients

Extensive burns plus inhalation injury complicate treatment, leaving three ICU cases stable in critical condition.

Overview

  • Hospital leaders said all 11 patients transferred from Switzerland are considered critical, with care spread across intensive, semi‑intensive and other units.
  • The intensive care director reported three patients are more severely ill than the others yet remain stable and not in immediate danger, with progress assessed day by day.
  • Surgeons scheduled procedures through the afternoon and evening, with two operations confirmed and a third under consideration based on evolving conditions.
  • Clinicians described burns reaching up to about 70% of body surface and prolonged exposure to toxic fumes as a combination that heightens respiratory and systemic risks.
  • Two additional patients remain in Switzerland because they are not transportable, and further transfers will occur only after stabilization under decisions by the central dispatch, with no new requests received.
