Two people who suffered electric shocks in the Guantanamo area, Baracoa, were treated on the night of May 21 at the local hospital.
According to information broadcast by Radio Baracoa, the movement of three people the ambulances who visited the first Cuban villa, made the locals believe that it was a mbadive accident, when it did not happen. was not like that.
The affected people, Calixta Núñez Romero, 50 years old, and Aliobis Abad Noa, 18 years old, they were in houses separated by 300 meters, in the locality El Perico, at the entrance of El Jobo, in Alto of Cotilla, at the moment of being impacted by the discharge.
According to Dr. Eslider Argüelles Camejo, intensivist On duty in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the care unit, the primary examination has shown that only slight injuries, without apparent brain injury or hemodynamic compromise; He added that the patients arrived awake, aware and guided. They did not need any ventilation equipment, says the local transmitter.
The wounded underwent physical examination, laboratory, radiology and ultrasound examinations and were consulted by various specialists, after which they were sent to the service. observation to verify its clinical course
Both were released between Sunday and Monday of this week
Cuba, one of the countries most affected by rays
Cuba stands Qualifies As one of the most affected areas by lightning worldwide, given the great electrical activity that characterizes the country's storms, Manuel Iturralde, president of the Cuban Society of Geology, told Prensa Latina
they are badociated with violent local storms, when heavy combined rains, hail, tornadoes, water thunderstorms and destructive wind gusts occur, although they can only be produced in such a way isolated on a clear day, known as lightning.
Iturralde explained that the months most prone to the occurrence of these phenomena are those of the summer, badociated with the convective processes that they produce through the great heating of the air, in contact with the earth's surface.
The most common electrical storms last from one hour to one and a half hours, between 14:00 and 19:00 local time, although they can also happen in others. He also recalled that Between 1987 and 2011, 1,522 victims were reported by flares in Cuba, most often between July and September.
In this sense, he pointed out that the danger of electric shocks is latent all year round and at any time; it suffices to combine the appropriate atmospheric conditions with a careless attitude.
This is the biggest cause of death due to the weather in Cuba, said the geological engineer.
All people do not die when they are hit by electric shocks. Being subjected to a current of several amperes and thousands of degrees of temperature is enough to cause serious consequences for human health.
We must act responsibly in the face of a deadly enemy, warns Iturralde.
