Can a pneumothorax fly, and can a pneumothorax patient fly?

Aviation doctors generally believe that pneumothorax patients should be cautious when flying. For tension pneumothorax (the hiatus acts as a one-way valve, and air enters the pleural space during inspiration; During exhalation, air accelerates in the pleural cavity, intrathoracic pressure rises sharply, the patient's lungs are compressed in a large area, the mediastinum is displaced, circulation is also affected and impaired, and even life-threatening), open pneumothorax (the hiatus continues to develop, air enters and exits the pleural space freely, and the intrathoracic pressure is close to atmospheric pressure. During the flight, the hiatus may change to a unidirectional valve effect and become a tension pneumothorax due to changes in air pressure and other factors, as well as a large area of closed pneumothorax (more than one-third of the lung is compressed), and it is not possible to fly.

Even for patients with a small amount of gas in the pleural space (less than one-third), it is best to be accompanied by a medical staff and take appropriate care measures to be able to fly safely.

For patients with pneumothorax, it is important to have a proper ** to successfully remove the gas, to re-open the lungs, and to be able to safely choose air travel if the pneumothorax is not **.

According to medical research, the following people should not fly.

1. Patients with infectious diseases. For example, patients with infectious diseases, such as infectious hepatitis, active tuberculosis, typhoid fever and other infectious diseases, are not allowed to take the plane during the isolation period stipulated by the state. Among them, chickenpox patients have not recovered from the damage and cannot fly.

2. Mentally ill. For example, epilepsy and various mental patients are not suitable to take an air because the aviation atmosphere is easy to induce acute attacks of diseases.

3. Patients with cardiovascular diseases. Due to mild hypoxia in the air, cardiovascular patients may have old diseases** or aggravate their condition, especially patients with cardiac insufficiency, myocardial hypoxia, myocardial infarction and severe hypertension, and are generally considered unsuitable for flying.

4. Cerebrovascular patients. For example, patients with cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, and brain tumors can aggravate their condition due to the roar, vibration and lack of oxygen from taking off and landing, and they are prohibited from taking flights.

5. Patients with respiratory diseases. For example, patients with emphysema, cor pulmonale, etc., may aggravate their condition due to gas expansion during the flight due to not adapting to the environment, such as pneumothorax, pulmonary cannon, etc.

6. Patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery are generally not allowed to fly within 10 days of surgery. Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding should not fly until three weeks after the bleeding has stopped.

7. Patients with severe anemia. Those with a hemoglobin level of less than 50 grams should not fly.

8. Patients with ear and nose diseases. Patients with acute exudative inflammation of the ear and nose and recent middle ear surgery should not travel by air.

9. Pregnant women who are approaching delivery. Due to changes in air pressure, early delivery of the fetus may occur, especially after 35 weeks of gestation, and it is not advisable to fly.

No, two problems, low air pressure and lack of oxygen.

No, there is a lot of atmospheric pressure in the upper atmosphere.

Analysis: Hello, pneumothorax is not allowed to fly.

Guidance: It refers to the entry of gas into the pleural space, causing a state of pneumothorax. The boy should be bedridden and rested, given oxygen, analgesic, cough suppressant, and antibiotics if infected**.

For patients with active internal medicine** lung still unable to re-expand, chronic pneumothorax or bronchopleural fistula can be considered for surgery**. Reverse pneumothorax can be treated with pleural adhesions.

Condition analysis: pneumothorax can not be used to fly the right to open the machine. Flying at high altitude can aggravate pneumothorax symptoms.

Guidance: The pathophysiological conditions caused by pneumopleural effusion caused by gas entering the pleural space are usually divided into three categories: spontaneous pneumothorax, traumatic pneumothorax and Peiying artificial pneumothorax.
