Four ConAgra patients remain critical at burn center
Some of the patients suffered burns over 40 to 60 percent of their bodies, Dr. Bruce Cairns said.
Posted — Updated“It’s really a balance between the heart function, the lung function (and) the kidney function while you are in shock,” Cairns said.
Patients in fair condition can be in a great deal of pain because their nerves are intact and can feel the pain, Cairns said.
Though a long road of recovery is ahead, Cairns said he’s seen people live through these types of critical burns before.
It is possible the burn center could get more patients, but they are not expecting any more at this point.
Tuesday's explosion left three people dead and sent dozens to other area hospitals with injuries.
