  • Title: [Venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms in air travel].
    Author: Spácil J.
    Journal: Cas Lek Cesk; 2002 Feb 01; 141(2):43-5. PubMed ID: 11925661.
    Abstract:
    The risk of venal thrombosis and pulmonary embolia during aviation is rather small. 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.
