JAKARTA - Bhayangkara Hospital Palembang stated that two survivors in the ALS bus and tanker truck accident in North Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra, were in stable condition after undergoing surgery to clean the damaged tissue due to burns.
Head of the Bhayangkara Palembang Hospital, Kombes dr. Budi Susanto said the two victims, namely Ngadiono and Jumiatun, are currently undergoing intensive care and follow-up medical monitoring.
"The operation carried out was the removal of damaged or dead tissue in parts of the body exposed to burns. Also there we clean the dirt that is still left or stuck on parts of the body," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 12.
He explained that Ngadiono's condition showed a fairly good development. The extent of the victim's burns has now been reduced to about 30 percent and is planned to be immediately transferred to a regular operating room.
Then, Jumiatun's condition was more severe because he suffered from inhalation trauma due to inhaling smoke during the incident and still using a breathing device in the ICU room.
In addition to suffering from burns, the victim also suffered nerve tissue, bone and tendon damage on the eight fingers of his right and left hands.
"From the picture, it's left and right. So, the right is about four fingers, the left is four fingers. From the index finger to the little finger, it was burned out so that the webbing was damaged, the bones were also damaged," he explained.
The medical team is currently continuing to observe the condition of the victim's fingers, which may have undergone amputation due to severe tissue damage.
On the other hand, the Bhayangkara Hospital Palembang is still continuing the identification process for 17 bags of the bodies of the victims who died in the ALS bus accident.
The hospital said that the official identification results could only be announced after the DNA test results were completed and were expected to be released on Wednesday (13/5).
"Our family asks for patience, as do media colleagues. We ask that you do not make a mistake in giving the statement because this is related to an identity that we must provide validly and can be held accountable," said Budi.
