The investigation in the case of the fire in the Piatră Neamţ intensive care unit was taken over by the General Prosecutor’s Office.
Investigations are underway in a criminal case for wrongful death. So far no culprit has been identified and those responsible are trying to find out where the fire started. The cause of the disaster has not been clearly established. However, the variant according to which it was activated by an injection machine is taken into account.
Prosecutors Marius Iacob and Eduard Ilie, from the Attorney General’s Office, have the mission of clarifying what happened in the intensive care unit of Neamţ Stone Hospital and how it was possible that 10 people died.
In the burning rooms, INSEMEX Petroşani fire specialists and specialists from the Romanian Police and the National Institute of Forensic Medicine began looking for evidence this morning. Some were compromised by roasting.
Since the Piatră Neamţ emergency hospital is a COVID support hospital, the investigators who came to conduct the investigation on site took precautionary measures to avoid any risk of illness. Each of those involved in the investigations was equipped with a protective suit.
In the therapy room that caught fire, everything is destroyed. Medical equipment and furniture melted, nothing was left of electrical installations. No one speaks of a clear cause of the fire yet, much less of the culprits.
But there are many hypotheses. Initially it was said that it would be a possible overheating of the electrical installation. Then came the outbreak of a fire from an injection machine, a syringe connected to electricity, programmed to automatically administer treatment to patients.
Liviu Ungureanu, head of the ATI section at SJU Piatra Neamț: “It is a report of some people who went through terrible times, an injection machine in a certain bed would have caught fire. From there it spread to the personal protective suits, followed by a small explosion, I don’t know why. Caused.”
Gheorghe Lazăr is the prefect of the county of Neamţ. He also talks about other mistakes that would have led to the tragedy. The hospital allegedly moved the ATI department from the 3rd to the 2nd floor without the approval of the Public Health Directorate.
Lucian Micu, manager of SJU Piatra Neamț: “This is an expansion of the number of ATI beds for positive patients, practically the 2nd and 3rd floors also have ATI circuits approved by the Public Health Directorate, in addition, in the last 3 weeks, works were carried out on the 2nd floor but in another area, not where the fire broke out in the area of those two affected rooms, no works have been carried out in the last period “.
While in Neamţ those involved try to escape their responsibility, ten families mourn their relatives, killed by the fire in the hospital where they should have found a rescue. President Klaus Iohannis prayed Monday for the victims of a church fire in Sibiu.
The tragedy in the intensive care unit in Piatră Neamţ is being investigated in a criminal case of wrongful death. The investigations are currently at REM and no charges have yet been brought against anyone.
Many doctors have pointed out that the ATI wards are overloaded during this period, as well as the equipment that keeps all patients alive in serious condition, and that such tragedies can occur at any time in any anesthesia and intensive care unit in the country. that the facilities are old.
And those messages came from medical personnel at various hospitals in the country.
For this reason, Prime Minister Ludovic Orban announced that on Monday he will begin a series of controls in all hospitals in the country, especially in intensive care units.
There will be mixed teams, specialists from the public health departments but also firefighters from the emergency departments.
All the facilities of the intensive care units, as well as the supply systems of this equipment, will be checked.
