Manténgase seguro y saludable durante y después de las emergencias

4 consejos para prepararse ante desastres naturales que pueden impactar negativamente la salud física y mental
(Family Features) Mientras elabora su lista de verificación de preparación para emergencias, también es importante proteger su corazón y salud general después de un huracán, tornado u otro desastre natural.
Los expertos de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica predicen por séptimo año consecutivo una temporada de huracanes en el Océano Atlántico superior al promedio. Las investigaciones muestran que no es sólo la devastación física lo que afecta la salud y la seguridad de las personas en el camino de un desastre natural.
De hecho, en un estudio presentado en las sesiones científicas de Epidemiología, prevención, estilo de vida y salud cardiometabólica de 2021 de la American Heart Association, los investigadores encontraron que existían mayores tasas de presión arterial alta, obesidad y prediabetes entre los sobrevivientes del huracán María en Puerto Rico en 2017, así como una mayor incidencia de enfermedades cardíacas y ataque cerebral dos años después de la tormenta en comparación con dos años antes del huracán.
No son sólo los huracanes los que pueden tener un impacto negativo en la salud cardiovascular. Un estudio publicado en la revista “Hypertension” encontró un aumento significativo en los niveles de presión arterial y la incidencia de presión arterial alta entre las personas que se vieron obligadas a evacuar después del gran terremoto del este de Japón en 2012.
Gustavo E. Flores, M.D., miembro del comité de Atención Cardiovascular de Emergencia de la American Heart Association, dijo que hay varios factores que pueden conducir a un aumento de la enfermedad y el riesgo cardiovascular enfermedad de un desastre natural.
“Durante y después de una tormenta, muchas personas experimentan estrés y traumas extremos, lo que, según las investigaciones, puede provocar un aumento del riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular”, afirmó. “El impacto puede ser más intenso para los pacientes con enfermedades cardíacas y accidentes cerebrovasculares. Además, después de un desastre natural importante, la destrucción de propiedades y las evacuaciones afectan muchos recursos de apoyo básicos. Esto puede dificultar la consulta a un profesional de la salud para controles de rutina o para reabastecer o ajustar medicamentos, especialmente para las poblaciones más vulnerables”.
Flores, presidente e instructor jefe de Emergency & Critical Care Trainings, LLC, dijo que es importante que las personas estén preparadas y planifiquen con anticipación. Considere estos rápidos consejos de Flores y la American Heart Association, que celebra 100 años de servicio para salvar vidas como la principal organización sin ánimo de lucro del mundo centrada en la salud del corazón y el cerebro para todos:
- Tómese el tiempo para anotar cualquier condición médica, alergias y medicamentos, incluidas las dosis y la hora en que toma los medicamentos, junto con el nombre, la dirección y el número de teléfono de su farmacia. Guarde la información con cualquier otro “kit de emergencia” que tenga a mano para una evacuación rápida.
- Si necesita evacuar, aunque sea temporalmente, lleve sus medicamentos e información de salud en una bolsa de plástico con cierre para ayudar a mantenerla seca.
- Si su medicamento se pierde, se daña con el agua o se quedó atrás cuando evacuó, investigue las farmacias abiertas y solicite un resurtido lo más rápido posible. Algunos estados permiten a los farmacéuticos hacer excepciones médicamente necesarias en ciertos tipos de resurtidos de recetas durante una emergencia.
- Utilice el Plan de preparación del paciente si tiene diabetes y usa insulina. Allí encontrará una lista de verificación de suministros y pautas para prepararse para una emergencia.
Otra forma de prepararse para una posible emergencia médica es aprender a realizar reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) con las manos únicamente y a utilizar un desfibrilador externo automático hasta que llegue la ayuda. Si se realiza correctamente, la RCP puede duplicar o triplicar las posibilidades de supervivencia de una persona.

Coca-Cola Recall Alert: Thousands of Cans Pulled From Shelves in Two States

In a significant recall notification, Coca-Cola has announced the withdrawal of over 10,000 cans of its popular beverage due to concerns over foreign object contamination. This announcement was initially made on March 6, and affected cans were sold in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin.
This week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the risk level of this recall as Class 2. This designation indicates that consuming the affected Coca-Cola “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” although the chances of serious health consequences are deemed to be remote.
Which Coca-Cola Products Were Recalled?
The recall impacts a total of 864 packs of 12 cans of Coca-Cola, amounting to 10,368 cans in total. The specific details of the recalled products are as follows:
- Product Description: Coca-Cola Original Taste, 12 Fl Oz
- Can UPC: 0 49000-00634 6
- 12-Can Pack UPC: 0 49000-02890 4
- Date Code: SEP2925MDA
- Time Stamp: 1100-1253
Which States Are Affected?
The recall specifically concerns Coca-Cola cans distributed in the following states:
- Illinois

Why Were the Coca-Cola Cans Recalled?
The FDA has reported that these Coca-Cola cans were recalled due to contamination with a foreign object, in this case, plastic. Such contaminants can inadvertently enter food and beverage products at various stages during the production process, posing a safety risk if ingested. It is important to note that the FDA report did not indicate any associated injuries related to this specific recall
If you have purchased Coca-Cola cans with the above UPC codes in Illinois or Wisconsin, it is recommended that you refrain from consuming the affected products. Instead, please return them to the store where you purchased them for a full refund or exchange. Staying informed about product recalls is crucial to consumer safety, and it is always advisable to check for the latest updates from the FDA and Coca-Cola regarding product safety issues. For any additional questions, feel free to reach out to Coca-Cola directly or visit the FDA’s website. Stay safe!
