We wanted to wait until there was some indication of what caused the fire last week, before we included a post about it.
Our sincere sympathies go to the family of Vincenza Pesce during this difficult time. We are all pulling for four year old,Francesco Pio Martinisi as he recovers from his injuries.
From an article in the Sentinel Sun.
An initial investigation by Broward Sheriff’s Office homicide detectives and the State Fire Marshal’s Office indicated there was a blast dislodged a tube attached to the chamber, causing an explosion and flash fire. More information about what caused the blast and subsequent explosion was unavailable.
The Baromedical Corporation released a press release last week which said in part
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is similar to flying a plane in many ways, the best and worst being that they are both incredibly safe and have tremendous safety records compared to miles flown or patients treated. But when there is a failure, it can, and most often is catastrophic.
The Hyperbaric Community as a whole is saddened at the loss of life from something that can heal so many, and centers worldwide are commited to ensuring every safety measure possible for their patients.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.
