Skin donations begin for New Zealand volcano victims. More here:
LONDON - Surgical teams treating dozens of casualties suffering horrific burns after a deadly volcano eruption in New Zealand will be tested to the limits of their expertise, a London-based specialist said on Wednesday.
“I can only think of them working extremely hard and being taken potentially to the limit of their abilities,” he told Reuters. Villapalos said he assumed surgeons will have contacted a tissue bank or companies that can provide large amounts of donor skin that could be flown to New Zealand. Twenty seven people have suffered severe burns to 30% or more of their body and 22 are also on airway support due to the severity of their burns, New Zealand medical authorities have said.
