Synopsis:
This unique reference provides information on the implications of diseases to the well-being of airline passengers and on how these diseases may affect their fitness to fly. It will be an invaluable source of information for general and occupational medicine physicians who are required to give advice on this to patients. The book includes practical advice on pre-flight assessment and in-flight management of individual medical disorders including acute emergencies. Background information is provided on the physiology of aviation and the cabin environment and also on the medico-legal implications for physicians who are asked to participate in the care of other passengers taken ill during a flight.
