Il nuovo servizio si aggiunge alle urgenze iperbariche in funzione da anni nell'isola palermitana

10/11/2022

October 31, 2022, marks the 25-year anniversary of one of the worst tragedies in the field of Hyperbaric Medicine. On that day, a fire broke out in the multiplace chamber at the Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute in Milan Italy.

This preventable incident cost the lives of 11 people (10 patients, 1 inside attendant) and led to a lengthy investigation and eventual prosecution of the medical director, safety representative, chamber operator, and the CEO of the hospital, among others.

The investigation revealed several deficiencies, to include:
• Failure to screen patients for prohibited items (cause of the fire: A liquid fuel-filled hand warmer)
• Poor or nonexistent maintenance
• Lack of water in the deluge tanks
• Lack of pressurization in the deluge system
• No interior fire suppression handlines
• The chamber operator was absent from the console at the time of the incident
• Staff training on equipment and emergency procedures was nonexistent
• The oxygen analyzer alarms were manipulated to avoid a nuisance
• Poorly fitting hoods and masks
• Patients were allowed to wear their street clothes into the chamber
• And much more*

Let us never forget the lives that were lost, and may we learn these lessons from this tragedy:

We must stay vigilant to stay safe. Always follow the guidelines and codes developed to protect hyperbaric practices. NFPA, ASME-PVHO, UHMS Facility Accreditation, Australian Standard 4774.2, and many other international hyperbaric standards like these.

The 11 souls who lost their lives on that day:

Inside Attendant: Massimiliano Felline

Patients: Ercole Alfieri, Franco Basei, Gino Bocchi, Angelo Nespoli, Agnese Orlandi, Maria Pisanò, Lauro Previato, Renzo Spinelli, Cesarina Turponi, Augusta Villa.
