As the world population expands, an increasing number of people are living in areas which may be threatened by natural disasters. Most of these major natural disasters occur in the Asian region. Pulmonary complications are common following natural disasters and can result from direct insults to the lung or may be indirect, secondary to overcrowding and the collapse in infrastructure and health-care systems which often occur in the aftermath of a disaster. Delivery of health care in disaster situations is challenging and anticipation of the types of clinical and public health problems faced in disaster situations is crucial when preparing disaster responses. In this article we review the pulmonary effects of natural disasters in the immediate setting and in the post-disaster aftermath and we discuss how this could inform planning for future disasters.
随着世界人口的增长，越来越多的人生活在可能受到自然灾害威胁的地区。这些重大自然灾害大多发生在亚洲地区。自然灾害后，肺部并发症很常见，可能是直接损伤肺部引起的，也可能是间接的，由于灾害后经常发生的过度拥挤以及基础设施和医疗保健系统的崩溃引起的。在灾害情况下提供医疗保健具有挑战性，在准备应对灾害时，预测灾害情况下面临的临床和公共卫生问题的类型至关重要。本文综述了自然灾直接作用和灾后对肺部的影响，并讨论了这如何为未来的灾害规划提供信息。
