Nepal and Hong Kong both are susceptible to natural disasters due to their geographic locations. Nepal suffers from frequent earthquakes, and Hong Kong regularly experiences typhoons of varying severity. Natural disasters may present acutely or with some advance warning. In either case, it is critical that disaster response plans are well established in advance of any incident. This article discusses the anesthetic and critical care implications of such natural disasters, using Nepal and Hong Kong as case studies.
尼泊尔和中国香港都因其地理位置而容易遭受自然灾害。尼泊尔经常发生地震，而中国香港则经常受到不同严重程度的台风的影响。自然灾害可能会突然发生，也可能会有一些提前预警。在任何情况下，在任何事件发生之前，制定完善的灾难应对计划都是至关重要的。本文以尼泊尔和中国香港为例，讨论了这种自然灾害对麻醉和重症监护的影响。
