Objectives: On the evening of October 30th, 2015 Romania and the entire world witnessed the fire disaster that struck the Colectiv Club, which killed 64 people and injured other 186 people. The burn victims were taken to 11 hospitals, including ours – we received 23 burn patients. It was the first time our department, and the entire country, encountered such a mass casualty. Now, after two years since the fire disaster, we present the first outcomes of our patients’ care. Methods: The burned patients we received in our facility, aged between 19-46, had the heads, backs, arms and hands affected by the fire, the depth being mixed, deep partial and full thickness. The TBSA affected by the burns was between 2-90%. The eschar removal was done either surgically (2 patients) or by enzymatic debridement (17 patients). The heads and faces were conducted towards spontaneous epithelisation, whereas the hands and arms were grafted, in 17 patients. The hospitalisation duration was between 10-62 days. 5 people out of the 23 died, including the 2 patients treated surgically alone. All patients treated by enzymatic debridement survived. Results: Despite the fact that we couldn’t follow up on all of our patients, who were transferred abroad and remained in the care of other physicians, the ones that stayed in contact with us (11 patients) had a good functional and cosmetic outcome. 5 patients required subsequent reconstructive surgeries at 6 months after the fire or additional procedures (cortisone injections - 4 patients), but overall we are satisfied with the results. Conclusions: The Colectiv fire was the biggest fire disaster in our country. It required sustained effort on the part of the medical personnel to save the victim’s lives, not just on the night of the fire, but also long term.
