Veval Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolia During Travel by Air
ZILNI TROMBOZA A PLICNI EMBOLIE PŘI CESTOVÁNÍ LETADLEM
Riziko žitní trombózy a plicní embolie a úmrtí při letu je velmi malé. Riziko zřetelně stoupá při dlouhých letech (nad 7500 km) a zejména u osob starších a se zvýšeným rizikem. Možnost onemocnění lze snížit cvičením s dolními končetinami, hojným pitím nealkoholických nápojů a elastickými podkolenkami. U vysoce ohrožených osob je možné zvážit aplikaci nízkomolekulárního heparinu.
Klíčová slova:
hluboká žitní trombóza, plicní embolie, nízkomolekulární heparin, cestování letadlem.

Overview
The risk of veval thrombosis and pulmonary embolia during aviation is rather smalt. The risk markedly rises during long flights (over 7500 km) and namely in elderly persons. Danger of the disease can be lowered by lower limbs exercising, liberal intake of soft drinks, and by elastic calf bandages. Persons of the high risk are candidates for low-molecular heparin administration.
Key words:
thrombosis of deep veins, pulmonary thrombosis, low-molecular heparin, travel by air
