Al planificar un viaje de buceo a un destino remoto, lo mejor es investigar un poco para conocer las prestaciones locales en situaciones de emergencia. Lamentablemente, no todos los centros m\u00e9dicos pueden brindar atenci\u00f3n para todas las enfermedades o lesiones. Por lo tanto, \u00bfqu\u00e9 se puede hacer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una parte importante de estar preparado para hacer frente emergencias es ser miembro de DAN. Independientemente del lugar y el momento en que se produzca una emergencia, DAN puede ser fundamental para facilitar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y, de ser necesario, una evacuaci\u00f3n. Y tener una cobertura contra accidentes de buceo puede solventar gastos considerables. Con m\u00e1s de 40 a\u00f1os de experiencia asistiendo a buzos, DAN ayuda a eliminar las especulaciones durante una emergencia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadia, que ha sido miembro de DAN durante mucho tiempo, no era ajena a los viajes internacionales, ya que cada a\u00f1o pasaba varios meses buceando o practicando snorkel. Durante un viaje reciente a una isla remota del Pac\u00edfico, Nadia pas\u00f3 un d\u00eda haciendo snorkel; al d\u00eda siguiente se despert\u00f3 y observ\u00f3 que ten\u00eda un gran bulto detr\u00e1s de la oreja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No se preocup\u00f3 demasiado por la hinchaz\u00f3n y se dirigi\u00f3 a una farmacia local; el farmac\u00e9utico pens\u00f3 que pod\u00eda ser una infecci\u00f3n del o\u00eddo. Le dieron un antibi\u00f3tico, pero al final del d\u00eda, se sent\u00eda sumamente cansada y ten\u00eda fiebre alta. A \u00faltima hora de la tarde, sent\u00eda un dolor extremo en el \u00e1rea entre la mand\u00edbula y la oreja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadia tom\u00f3 medicamentos para el dolor de venta libre durante la noche, pero el dolor no disminu\u00eda. Como consider\u00f3 que el dolor era demasiado intenso como para tratarse de una infecci\u00f3n del o\u00eddo, se comunic\u00f3 con la l\u00ednea de emergencias de DAN. El miembro del personal m\u00e9dico de DAN le indic\u00f3 que se dirigiera al hospital local. Nadia pens\u00f3 que los m\u00e9dicos locales de la isla remota no podr\u00edan hacer demasiado, por lo que decidi\u00f3 esperar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos d\u00edas m\u00e1s tarde, el dolor y la inflamaci\u00f3n no hab\u00edan disminuido, por lo que Nadia fue al hospital y el m\u00e9dico del lugar confirm\u00f3 que no ten\u00eda una infecci\u00f3n del o\u00eddo. Dado que sus s\u00edntomas empeoraban, Nadia se comunic\u00f3 con DAN desde el hospital y les envi\u00f3 fotos de la inflamaci\u00f3n en su cara y en su cuello. Como el hospital local no contaba con los recursos necesarios para diagnosticar y tratar a Nadia de manera adecuada, DAN coordin\u00f3 una evacuaci\u00f3n a un hospital australiano para el d\u00eda siguiente, donde podr\u00eda tener acceso a tomograf\u00edas computadas y un ultrasonido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veinticuatro horas m\u00e1s tarde, un avi\u00f3n de evacuaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica australiano lleg\u00f3 al aeropuerto cerca de all\u00ed para trasladar a Nadia. El m\u00e9dico y el enfermero que estaban a bordo r\u00e1pidamente realizaron una evaluaci\u00f3n y le administraron medicamentos para aliviar la inflamaci\u00f3n y el dolor. Una vez en el hospital, Nadia fue examinada por un m\u00e9dico y se le hicieron an\u00e1lisis de sangre. El ultrasonido revel\u00f3 que una de sus gl\u00e1ndulas par\u00f3tidas (salivales) estaba extremadamente hinchada con l\u00edquido y se le diagnostic\u00f3 una parotiditis bacteriana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nadia pas\u00f3 cuatro d\u00edas en el hospital recuper\u00e1ndose, y en DAN siguieron controlando su evoluci\u00f3n cada d\u00eda. Su r\u00e1pida intervenci\u00f3n le record\u00f3 a Nadia por qu\u00e9 era miembro de DAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSin DAN tendr\u00eda que haber solucionado esta penosa situaci\u00f3n yo sola, y no hay nada peor que estar sola durante un viaje, enferma y vulnerable\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Nadia. \u201cEn DAN se ocuparon de todo desde el momento en que me comuniqu\u00e9 con ellos. Nunca se sabe lo que la vida puede deparar, pero DAN est\u00e1 para acompa\u00f1arte cuando necesitas ayuda para enfrentar lo desconocido, especialmente en \u00e1reas remotas del mundo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAN dive accident insurance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is available only to DAN members, and it covers accidents and injuries related to diving and many other water sports as well as non-diving-related accidents and injuries. Coverage starts at just US$40\/year, and from day one DAN helps take the guesswork out of emergency logistics. Once a member calls the 24\/7 hotline, DAN arranges whatever care is needed. Behind the scenes, DAN specialists coordinate medical care and transportation with local agencies, and in dive emergencies, DAN medical staff can even offer consultations to treating physicians who are not familiar with dive medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its sterling reputation, DAN fully understands the needs of divers and snorkelers. Learn more about the\u00a0benefits of dive accident insurance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0DAN membership<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
