Bleeding disorders can be dangerous due to air traffic
Sitting in that cramped airplane seat could be more than just an inconvenience for a long international flights. These conditions, combined with lower oxygen levels and dehydration, common air travel could be a serious condition called deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs. Effective up to 600,000 Americans per year. The risk of deep vein thrombosis is a piece of blood clot can break off and into the lungs, which called for a sometimes deadly disease, pulmonary embolism.About 10 percent of people develop pulmonary embolism die.will travel by air with an increased potential for developing deep vein thrombosis associated. When we travel by plane, often have been in a very narrow position for a long
time, Thomas Wakefield, MD, a vascular surgeon, said at the University of Michigan Health System. Studies show its long-haul flights that people at risk. As international travel where the flights last eight hours or more are the biggest concern. Three conditions increase the chances of developing DVT: Do not move for long periods, clotting disorders or other abnormalities in the blood, and problems with the same wires.remains popular in his bed after surgery, and long distance travelers, the risk pooling blood in the veins, if they do not move. Some diseases such as stroke, heart attack, cancer and paralysis also provide people with an increased risk of developing a blood clot.Perhaps the most important risk factor is age. We know that the age that our chances of
developing deep vein thrombosis increased significantly, said Wakefield, a professor of surgery at the UM Medical School. There is growing evidence that obesity in itself is a risk factor for the development of deep vein thrombosis. If you are flying a long international flight, the airlines attention when shown the video that describes exercises you can do in your home. Wakefield said that these movements help to reduce the Pages: [1] 2 3
