Niguarda Treating 11 Crans-Montana Fire Victims as Two Severely Injured Teens Remain in Zurich

Hospital updates report slight gains for several patients, with three still in critical condition requiring mechanical ventilation.

Overview

  • Niguarda reports overall stable conditions for the 11 hospitalized burn patients, with modest improvements noted in some cases.
  • Three patients remain in particularly serious condition due to extensive burns and significant smoke-inhalation lung damage, requiring ventilatory support.
  • Two Italian minors remain non-transportable in Zurich, including a 16-year-old boy in unstable condition and 15-year-old Elsa with burns over about 70 percent of her body in an induced coma.
  • Milan surgeons carried out multiple procedures this week, including three operations yesterday, using roughly 13,000 square centimeters of skin from the tissue bank for coverage.
  • Niguarda says it is ready to accept additional transfers once patients stabilize, as civil protection and school communities provide ongoing support to families.
