Los accidentes ocurren, incluso en inmersiones tranquilas, y recibir la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica adecuada puede ser imprescindible. Si alguna vez te encuentras en una situaci\u00f3n en la que necesitas una evacuaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de emergencia, ya sea relacionada con el buceo o no, Divers Alert Network\u00ae<\/sup> la membres\u00eda te cubre. Pero la cobertura de la membres\u00eda solo es \u00fatil si se mantiene actualizada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim dej\u00f3 caducar accidentalmente su membres\u00eda DAN despu\u00e9s de mudarse, y no era algo que tuviera muy presente cuando particip\u00f3 en una inmersi\u00f3n de 30 minutos a 100 pies durante un viaje a M\u00e9xico. \u00c9l y su compa\u00f1ero de buceo, Terry, eran buceadores experimentados, y la inmersi\u00f3n transcurri\u00f3 sin incidentes, salvo por una parada de seguridad abreviada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De vuelta a bordo del barco, Jim pens\u00f3 que su traje de neopreno ajustado parec\u00eda m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil de quitar de lo habitual, especialmente alrededor de los pu\u00f1os de los brazos y las piernas. Una vez fuera del traje, Jim se sinti\u00f3 extra\u00f1o y no consegu\u00eda ponerse c\u00f3modo, y 30 minutos m\u00e1s tarde ten\u00eda las piernas como de goma. Haciendo un esfuerzo, se fue a casa y se ech\u00f3 una siesta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero los s\u00edntomas de Jim empeoraron despu\u00e9s de despertarse. Caminaba tambale\u00e1ndose y no pod\u00eda mantener el equilibrio. Llam\u00f3 a DAN y, tras explicar lo sucedido, le indicaron que acudiera al centro m\u00e9dico m\u00e1s cercano. Los s\u00edntomas de Jim parec\u00edan graves teniendo en cuenta su perfil de buceo, y su marcha inestable pod\u00eda ser indicio de un ictus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terry acompa\u00f1\u00f3 a Jim al hospital, y Jim empezaba a sentir un entumecimiento que se extend\u00eda por las piernas. Jim volvi\u00f3 a llamar a DAN, y el m\u00e9dico de DAN habl\u00f3 directamente con el doctor. Jim pas\u00f3 la noche ingresado y le hicieron pruebas a la ma\u00f1ana siguiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A la ma\u00f1ana siguiente, Jim se despert\u00f3 sin sensibilidad en la mitad inferior del cuerpo, por lo que el m\u00e9dico orden\u00f3 una tomograf\u00eda computarizada. Jim ya no pod\u00eda caminar. Se descart\u00f3 un derrame cerebral, pero el diagn\u00f3stico provisional del m\u00e9dico local fue una infecci\u00f3n parasitaria o un trastorno neurol\u00f3gico. Se contact\u00f3 con DAN por tercera vez y se sugiri\u00f3 una enfermedad por descompresi\u00f3n (el m\u00e9dico local no estaba familiarizado con las lesiones por buceo). DAN sugiri\u00f3 que era hora de evacuar a Jim a Estados Unidos para someterlo a tratamientos hiperb\u00e1ricos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim fue evacuado al Centro M\u00e9dico de la Universidad de California en San Diego (USCD) y ese mismo d\u00eda comenz\u00f3 su primer tratamiento hiperb\u00e1rico, que dur\u00f3 siete horas. Seg\u00fan los m\u00e9dicos que lo atendieron, el tratamiento ser\u00eda largo, por lo que permaneci\u00f3 all\u00ed varios d\u00edas antes de recuperar la capacidad de caminar. Desgraciadamente, algunos s\u00edntomas persist\u00edan. Al cabo de cinco d\u00edas, Jim se encontraba lo suficientemente bien como para recibir tratamiento ambulatorio, alojarse en un hotel y someterse a varios d\u00edas m\u00e1s de tratamiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de una semana en el centro y un total de 10 tratamientos hiperb\u00e1ricos, Jim recibi\u00f3 la noticia de que pod\u00eda regresar a su hogar en Arizona y continuar su recuperaci\u00f3n por su cuenta. La mejor noticia: con el tiempo, podr\u00eda volver a bucear tras recuperarse por completo y con algunos ajustes en el futuro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abA veces todav\u00eda me parece incre\u00edble haber pasado de la perspectiva de no volver a caminar nunca m\u00e1s a estar tan avanzado en mi recuperaci\u00f3n\u00bb, afirma Jim. \u00abQuiz\u00e1s nunca sepa por qu\u00e9 mis s\u00edntomas se manifestaron con tanta gravedad, pero hay una cosa que tengo clara: sin la atenci\u00f3n que recib\u00ed cuando ped\u00ed ayuda, el resultado probablemente habr\u00eda sido desastroso\u00bb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y Jim comprob\u00f3 de primera mano la incre\u00edble importancia de ser miembro de DAN. Aunque el hecho de que su membres\u00eda hubiera caducado no afect\u00f3 a las consultas y el apoyo que recibi\u00f3 de DAN, esta organizaci\u00f3n no pudo cubrir los 22 000 d\u00f3lares que cost\u00f3 su evacuaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abNo hace falta decir que vuelvo a ser miembro de DAN\u00bb, a\u00f1adi\u00f3 Jim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAN elimina las conjeturas de la log\u00edstica de emergencia. Una vez que un miembro llama a la l\u00ednea directa 24\/7, DAN organiza toda la atenci\u00f3n necesaria, incluida la evacuaci\u00f3n si es necesario. Entre bastidores, el personal de DAN coordina la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y el transporte con las agencias locales y, en caso de emergencias de buceo, el personal m\u00e9dico de DAN puede incluso consultar con m\u00e9dicos locales que quiz\u00e1 no est\u00e9n familiarizados con la medicina del buceo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con m\u00e1s de 40 a\u00f1os de experiencia gestionando emergencias en lugares remotos, DAN es mucho m\u00e1s que una compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros. M\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre la beneficios de estar cubierto por DAN.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
