Propuesta metodológica para la prevención y tratamiento de las lesiones por rayos / A methodological proposal for preventing and treating those lesions caused by lightningPropuesta metodológica para la prevención y tratamiento de las lesiones por rayos / A methodological proposal for preventing and treating those lesions caused by lightningLas lesiones causadas por los rayos constituyen la primera causa de muerte en Cuba por los llamados fenómenos meteorológicos. Aproximadamente 65 cubanos mueren anualmente por esta causa. En la provincia de Pinar del Río en el año 2008 las lesiones por los rayos representaron la segunda causa de muerte por accidentes en la edad de 0-18 años y la primera de 5-14 años. En la economía los daños son cuantiosos, (afectaciones en la infraestructura de las comunicaciones y redes eléctricas en los sistemas informáticos y equipos electrodomésticos, entre otros). Así como se encuentran entre las causas principales de incendios forestales. En Cuba, por esta causa la mayor pérdida de vidas humanas se produce entre los 16 - 30 años de edad, fundamentalmente en zonas rurales. Un tercio de los casos son mortales y de los que sobreviven el 70% desarrollan secuelas frecuentes. Por no existir en la provincia de Pinar del Río una Metodología diseñada para la prevención y tratamiento de este tipo de accidente a nivel de la Atención Primaria y Secundaria de Salud, así como con la finalidad de impartir este tema en la Docencia Médica de pregrado y postgrado se decide presentar esta investigación. Palabras clave: lesiones por acción del rayo/prevención, metodología. ABSTRACT Lesions caused by lightning are the main cause of death in Cuba produced by the so-called meteorological phenomena estimating 65 victims yearly. In Pinar del Rio province (year 2008), this kind of lesion represented the second cause of death by accidents in the 0-18 year old group and the first cause in the 5-14 year old group. In the economy the damages are serious (damages in the infrastructure of communications and electricity plants, informatic systems and electrodomestic equipments and so on). They are also involved in the forest fires. The higher number of human deaths is observed in the 16-30 year old group in the rural areas mainly. A third of the cases is fatal and among those survivors 70% develop frequent sequela. In this province there is not a design of methodology for preventing and treating this kind of accident at primary and secundary health care and it is intended to teach this subject in the pregraduate and postgraduate medical teaching Key words: lightning injuries/prevention, methodology.
